Poking Trolls!

Oh boy did I have fun last night. Fun in my own slightly obnoxious way.

Was sent out to a particularly busy station last night with a full load of Unleaded. Got there to find out this place was REALLY low ( another two hours and they would have been empty and shut down). So, I show up and start unloading. A short while later my buddy Paul shows up with a second load. We were really gonna fill this place up!

THEN, a few minutes later some other company shows up with yet another load! And out comes Big Bubba Truckdriver....donut crumbs on his shirt and everything!

Well Big Bubba don't like my style of unloading....you know, responsible, methodical, careful. He spouts off loud enough for several customers to hear. " This is the dumbest thing I've ever seen...How long you been doing this!!"

So, ol' Dale answers his "question" with his own ( just loud enough for those same customers to hear ( shame on me I know) "So, Big Bubba, how long have YOU been doing this?

Well his chest puffs out (still a good 6 inches in from his protruding hangbelly!!), and he sticks his thumbs in his belt loops and rocks back n forth on his heels in an excellent self-righteous stance and announces ( loud enough for customers to hear) "Ive been doing this for 23 years!!"

So, ol' Dale comments ( just loud enough for customers to hear ...Shame on me again) So, Big Bubba, you've been sticking hoses in the ground and for 23 years and that's ALL you've done?? Really Big Bubba, this is ALL you've done in 23 years?...to which he proudly and self righteously acknowledges. Then he stomps off to his truck for yet another donut and mountain dew...and I turn around to see two customers giving me the high five!! It was a riot!!

I think maybe about 2012, Big Bubba MIGHT get my point!!
