Nice restaurant story D... They got theirs.

Anyway,
You guys crack me up !!! Thanks for keeping it fun today. Cool phone conversation R !

I called the dispatch number at 8:55 (they open at 9:00). Left a message. Got a call back while I was leaving the message. They said the driver will be calling me around noon to arrange for drop off. Now here is the latest story - "they weren't there this weekend because of the heavy rain which shorted out the headlights on the truck so they couldn't continue". Uh huh. Yeah sounds really plausible on a relatively NEW truck... Just have the balls to tell me that you waited to get an extra car or two on the trailer to maximize your revenue - I can understand that. You don't want me to know since I paid a premium to have it delivered sooner.

So, I sit here waiting for the driver to call. Hope it happens in the next hour since I do not have his number.

..And here are the Top 10 Reasons why the truck was delayed... (Remember this is a fairly new truck)

On the trip to pick up the SST:
1) The clutch fan seized up and took out the radiator.
2) The truck had a flat.

On the trip to back (so far):
3) The truc
k had another flat.
4) We needed to pick up another car in Phoenix.
5) It was raining hard and we lost our lights.

After those I was completely ready for these:
6) ??? My pet Iguana co-driver has hemorrhoids and we had to stop in Texas to have the Camaro 5 crew fix it before he was cleared to drive again.

7) ??? The truck's front spring broke so we stopped and had a Pedders ZL1 suspension installed on it. It now tracks straight but has trouble pulling 1.0 G turns.

8) ??? We raced a FedEx truck and lost our pink slip. Rich Christensen did the arm drop.

9) ??? Our truck, Christine, is possessed and drove around the truck stop in circles for 2 hours until it got dark.

10) ??? We gave our truck Pepto Bismol for having bad gas, only to find it was really diesel fuel.

You should ask the driver why there was a delay. See if he gives you the same reasons. Oh, and I'd get that "premium" for fast delivery refunded.

Reminds me of a story that all college professors know...

Two students who ride to school together showed up an hour late to take their final exam. They told the professor that they had a flat tire driving to school that day. So, the professor agreed to let them take the final exam. He put the students in separate rooms to take the test. He gave them each an exam which consisted of one question... "Which tire?"

Back in the explosive days...

Do you know what you get when you mix Ammonium Nitrate with Nitromethane and set it off with a blasting cap ?
It's pretty. It's pink. ...And it makes a very nice hole in the ground.



Thanks R !!!
