Oh Please!  I want to put a sign on the front of

Y'know, that was one nice thing back in the CB-craze days, you could
actually do something like that.  I was pulling a trailer down the
interstate once with the Balrog (my first 1-ton dually pickup).  Some
idiot cut me off and I had to brake for all I was worth to stay out of
his trunk.  He had a CB antenna, so I called him and told him he
almost had me in his back seat.

He says, "Didn't you see my turn signal?"  (Turned on just as he
suddenly whipped over)

I told him "That blinking light doesn't help this big rig stop."

We had a few more words, but alas, I still don't think he got it.

Oh, no horses got discombobulated.  That was before I discovered
endurance, the trailer had a race car on it.

Hmmm ... then there was the time the fellow drove right into the back
of my steel 4-horse trailer (being pulled by the Balrog) on I-40 near
Nashville.  (Messed up his car, only smudged some paint on the
trailer)  There's just no accounting for some of the idiots out there.
