#9 About 30 years ago I was accosted by a crackhead asking for change for a cup of coffee. "Ain't got no change." Well, how about a dollar so I can get something to eat. "Ain't got no dollars." So I went in to pay for my gas and brought the dude out a Pimento cheese sandwich and a cup of coffee, around four bucks worth. He asks me...what's this? So I told him, You asked me for money because you said you were hungry. I bought you food and drink. I'd suggest you best get to eating and drinking or I might get the impression you lied to me about being hungry and thirsty.
Don't drive across the western 2/3s of Kansas. Replace the word 'corn' with 'wheat'. Talk about 'amber waves of grain'. Ah, America the Beautiful...ain't got no use for those cesspools called cities.
I've driven across the country a few times. Take it from me, there just isn't much to see between Indianapolis and Denver. So dull it made a distant grain silo seem interesting...
I’ve driven across the country a few times. Was approaching Pontiac Illinois (not Michigan) once and saw a distant object on the horizon. Watched it for 25 Miles as it was the only thing on the horizon. It was the local landfill.
Driving I-70 across Kansas made me seriously believe that I could tie the steering wheel in place and put a brick on the accelerator, and crawl in the back seat to sleep.
Beggar outside an excellent deli in Milwaukee asks for money for food. Dragged him inside and told him to order. He's black, the guys behind the counter are black--and they are giggling so hard they nearly spit all over the food. They knew, and he knew they knew, and I knew, too.
#17 they brought men's and women's professional volleyball to my city on Lake Michigan, back in June. It was 24 teams for men and 24 teams for women, with a 50,000$ total prize package. Attendance was free, but with one road going, then doing an oval and back out, traffic in the summer is horrible. So I avoid the lakeshore like I avoid liberals.

DeleteThere is a LOT to see from Indianapolis to Denver, you are just too ignorant to see it.

ReplyDeleteMarvelous scene.
I did that to a pan-handler at the McDonalds in Dumas, Arkansas not six months ago with the exact same results.

ReplyDeletere: #3 - where can I find number 4? Finally one that I can fit into? My s.o. is between a 2 and 3, and she and I don't fit together.
ReplyDeleteYeah, Indiana “crossroads of America”. They say that cause the only reason for driving in Indiana is cause you’re on your way somewhere else.
ReplyDelete#17. I am still laughing 15 minutes later...
