The Long Red Light
The Coach's Team ^ | 5/26/18 | Unk

Hat Tip: karinsue 1

I was sitting at a long stop light yesterday, thinking about what I would do to keep busy during retirement, minding my own business and patiently waiting for the light to turn green, even though there was no on-coming traffic.

An old Nissan full of bearded, young, loud Muslims, shouting Anti-American slogans, with a half-burned American Flag duct-taped on the trunk of their car and a "Remember 9-11" slogan spray painted on the side, stopped next to me.

Suddenly they yelled, "Allah Akbar! Praise Allah! Death to America" and took off before the light changed.

Out of nowhere an 18-wheeler truck came speeding through the intersection and ran directly over their car, crushing it completely and killing everyone in it.

For several minutes I sat in my car thinking to myself, "Man?..that could have been me!"

So today, bright and early, I went out and got a job as a truck driver!

Our truckers are a rolling army. Each and every trucker carries a gun for protection.

The trucker must have been the “Rubber Duck”

That’s great. I wonder how long it would last posted on British forums since they seem to have gone full repressive censorship?

You should have rushed immediately to the wreck site and if any of the ‘slimes were still breathing, rendered assistance ... to the truck driver.

Decent song, lousy movie. Ali McGraw must have had to earned the role the old fashioned way to get to play the butch woman with the white afro.

Related trucker story (not sure if this is true but it could be):

A trucker stops for a red light with a car closely following. A blonde jumps out of the car, runs up to his truck, and knocks on the door.

The trucker lowers the window and she says “Hi, my name is Heather and you are losing some of your load.”

Shaking his head, the trucker ignores her and continues down the street.

At the next red light, the same thing happens again. All out of breath, the blonde gets out of her car, runs up, knocks on the truck door. The trucker rolls down the window. Again she says “Hi, my name is Heather, and you are losing some of your load!”

When the light turns green the trucker revs up and races to the next light. When he stops this time, he hurriedly gets out of the truck, and runs back to the blonde.

He knocks on her window, she lowers it and he says, “Hi, my name is Mark, it’s wintertime and I’m driving the SALT TRUCK!”

Nice story with a happy ending

But how did the guy pass all the DMV theory tests, then pass the driving test with a dual range manual 12-speed gearbox hauling a 53 ft trailer..and the important air brake safety tests and how to couple uncouple the trailer....enquiring minds seek to know.

Mercy sakes alive looks like we got us a convoy! I miss those days of ratchet jawing on the old CB. It was a helluva lot safer than texting.

I remember the hit song “Convoy” with Rubber Duck broadcasting on his CB radio.

I miss ‘em too.

C.W. McCall was a good ole boy, haven’t heard Convoy in years.

Another favorite was Wolf Creek Pass.
