does take a few years of schooling.

Not to mention,

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/05/2017:  15:17:06

the expense of all the medical instruments needed.

But Dr. Frank-N-Styne didn't use

OM45GE - Posted - 03/06/2017:  02:44:18

FDA approved medical instruments, he bought everything he needed at the hardware store. 

For bandages he used

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/06/2017:  03:47:12

old worn out bed sheets.

But even they had been

Forrest - Posted - 03/06/2017:  06:53:57

not the best choice, as stripes and faded flowers are not currently in fashion when it comes to bandages. 

He used old antifreeze for

for Saturday night drinks, chased down with a nice shot of 3-in-1 oil.

A good time in Transylvania

OM45GE - Posted - 03/06/2017:  07:31:20

isn't as much fun as a bad time at Fenway Park.

I would much rather

Forrest - Posted - 03/06/2017:  07:56:20

be tempted with balls and ballpark weiners than have surgery any day.

I have this tattoo

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/06/2017:  08:43:33

that I have to keep hidden due to possible attacks by my enemies.

Only my close allies

OM45GE - Posted - 03/06/2017:  11:26:04

even know it exists and only a select few have actually seen it.

It's located right next to

Forrest - Posted - 03/06/2017:  11:31:53

this other tattoo of a butt with a butt shaped tattoo on it. 

I get confused

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/06/2017:  11:42:24

are allowed to see it..

And even they don't want to

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/06/2017:  11:49:41

skip over two posts and some barb wire to view it.

I'm going in cognito

Forrest - Posted - 03/06/2017:  11:51:23

because talking about butts or butts with a tattoo of a butt with butt shaped tattoos on them makes me uncomfortable.

It all started when

OM45GE - Posted - 03/06/2017:  12:10:17

my mother tried to show me her tattoos.

It was OK until she started to take off her slacks, then I had to

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/06/2017:  12:13:37

call "Uncle" Eddie who used to hang out at our place every winter and sit in the kitchen drinking beer wearing a dirty undershirt.

I got him one day, though,

OM45GE - Posted - 03/06/2017:  12:15:12

when I threw all his dirty undershirts in with the rest of the laundry.

I was surprised at how

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/06/2017:  14:28:05

they just fell apart during the spin cycle.

Mamma went to K-Mart and

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/06/2017:  22:36:34

for more undershirts and beer.

Her taste in men

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  02:50:56

questionable at best. 

For example, her sixth husband 

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/07/2017:  05:13:36

was a prison reject who wore panty hose and a bra made from a burlap sack.

Needless to say he didn't

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/07/2017:  05:48:23

get to use the trans-gender restrooms on the Interstate.

State trooper McGhee

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  06:30:51

stopped him trying to enter the ladies room at the Truckstops of America before there was a confrontation with the other drivers.

He thought

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/07/2017:  07:59:51

he would explode before he found a place to relieve himself.

Then after that everyone wanted to

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/07/2017:  10:28:47

take him behind the dumpster and beat the tar out of him.

Never tell a trucker

OM45GE - Posted - 03/07/2017:  13:50:49

that you like his purse but wouldn't have gone with that particular shade of pink.

He's liable to

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/08/2017:  07:55:31

beat the crap out of you because they are not sissies.

Like the time one gay trucker told his gay trucker friend to

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/08/2017:  08:46:30

shove it overdrive cuz he was running late.

are in many drivers' medicine kits.

They also usually have

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/09/2017:  12:19:09

condoms, penicillin and Benzedrine ,but I'm probably stereotyping a large segment of society.

Many truckers these days wear suits, exercise and take vitamins

and could easily pass as bankers or business people, which, of course, they have to be in todays trucking environment.

Many of them are worried about

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/09/2017:  14:55:41

getting a leak in an air hose which means they'll have to don those greasy coveralls to repair it.

Eddie Albert wore $500 suits driving his tractor

OM45GE - Posted - 03/10/2017:  06:42:08

but he had Eva Gabor to comfort him if he got them dirty.

She was also quite good at

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/10/2017:  11:00:49

Keeping company with The Rubber Duck.

Of course that was

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/10/2017:  11:14:55

when the Rubber Duck was making lotsa moolah driving his rig around Hooverville.

When his contracts dried up

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/10/2017:  13:28:50

he ended up with Ali McGraw.

I don't remember how the

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2017:  02:53:20

two of them got along, but I always thought Ali was attractive. 

I wonder if she 

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/11/2017:  05:08:31

knew the Rubber Duck and Tanya Tucker were very good friends?

The song Bobby McGee was written to honor

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/11/2017:  05:38:41

the inventor of the slappin' windshield wipers, Dirty Dingus.

Thumbing down diesels

OM45GE - Posted - 03/11/2017:  06:00:44

isn't much fun but it does make for an interesting song narrative. 

I wonder if Janice Joplin ever actually 

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/12/2017:  09:12:13

gave the thumbs down to passing truckers.

She'd have the blues

OM45GE - Posted - 03/12/2017:  11:41:15

if one of them stopped and gave her a ride. 

Unless, of course, she liked

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/12/2017:  16:32:16

the looks of the driver.

She has been known to

OM45GE - Posted - 03/12/2017:  17:31:39

tempt the most faithful man into her arms to sample her sensual delights.

Then she leaves them while they

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/12/2017:  19:13:07

pass out from copious quantities of Southern Comfort, a potent blend of fermented sugar and sorghum.

After she lifts all the bennies

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/13/2017:  02:45:17

and his wallet,she hurries home like nothing happened.

Just then she heard a diesel screaming down

OM45GE - Posted - 03/13/2017:  02:58:45

her street and she knew the jig was up. 

Diesel Dan had followed 

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/13/2017:  05:04:53

her to get his money back or either get his moneys worth.

But she had a way with truckers that

OM45GE - Posted - 03/13/2017:  06:46:56

renders them senseless the moment she turns on her "charms".

Dan was not different that the others, he
