Is It my Ego?

A first today while getting propane. After filling the tanks at a quick stop station the gal looked at it and asked in a heavy accent "cawpet kleenar?"

Most memorable for me was while airing up after driving off the beach. A guy in cowboy boots, huge cowboy hat and mustache and in a long, way too excited drawl....." Where'd u git dat bastuuurd!!!?"

Had a total redneck guy in a beat up old crown vic, pull into the station I was filling up at just to ask
"Hows she 4wheel?"
"Like a bull in a china shop"
I was laughing for days after that.

While camping up in Lassen NF, this wiry old guy who looked as if he lived most his life in the woods, came up and stated. "My daddy always told me if you want to look respectable, get a van with a canoe on top." I of coarse had a canoe on top. Guess that means I'm respectable.

I may have shared this incident previously on the forum. If so, pardon me for telling the same story twice...

Last summer, Christine and I were driving in deep downtown Asheville NC to attend a huge, citywide arts/music fest. Lots of congestion, early-in-the-day revelry, and folks vying for parking and access.

We pulled into a convenience store to get a resupply of convenience. As I was stepping down from the van, a big, rough-lookin' fella jumps out of a methlab special, comes in low and fast toward me, like a middle linebacker bustin' through the line with an open shot at the QB... growl-shoutin' "Mutha F**ka, Mutha F**ka, Mutha F**ka.


I'm thinkin' I must have cut him off in traffic, or some such! As I reverse direction and start back into the van, pulling the door behind me, he is right on my hip... and sez "Whurred ju git dis muthaf**ka? Dis muthaf**ka is aaaawesuuuum!

Whew
