Joe Willie On The Shrimpbox: A Salute To The Truckdrivers

Today we salute the guys who haul our stuff up and down our coasts and across the country. It's National Truck Driver week. When you're on the highway give those 18 wheelers plently of room. They need it. Give 'em some good old fashioned courtesy!

The truckers diner:
One morning a young man at his first job as a waiter in a diner has a large trucker sit down at the counter and order.

"Gimme three flat tires and a couple of headlights," said the truck driver.

Bewildered the waiter goes to the kitchen and tells the cook, "I think this guy's in the wrong store. Look at what he ordered!"

The cook says, "He wants three pancakes and two eggs sunny-side up."

The waiter takes a bowl of beans to the trucker. The trucker looks at it and growls, "What's this? I didn't order this!"

The young man tells him, "The cook says that while you're waiting for your parts you might as well gas up!"
