My sibs and I picked up a lot of trucker lingo (: A Gator or Alligator- a blown tire in the road. "Come back"- repeat, or respond. Fuzzbuster- radar detector Beaver- derogatory term for a woman...I'm sure I heard it over the CB and asked daddy what it meant, to which I am sure he blushed and told me not to repeat or call anyone that- lol! Stop-and-rob- convenience store And not lingo, really just common courtesy, but I still flash my lights on and off to let a trucker know he's clear to pass in front into my lane, and the polite ones flash their lights once they are in the lane. And a funny story that happened to my dad: He walked into a truck stop, wearing his usual coveralls and before he got to his table a pair of my mom's panties fell out of one of his pant legs on to the floor, obviously having thrown them back on straight from the dryer and static cling, just home long enough to wash his clothes and put them back on. There wasn't much he could say to all the guys then staring down at the pair of panties and looking at him, so he just laughed it off- lol! I wish I had been there! Or here's a familiar one: Pulled over on the shoulder and sleeping over the steering wheel because he didn't get a sleeper, and his legs went to sleep, woke up to go pee and fell out of the truck into the ditch- lol! Daddy was a burly, 6' 2", weighing over 300 lbs, a big man and a lovely soul. God bless the truckers!

I guess I must be confused! Now I did it, you guessed I'm not a trucker. But I have a friend who's a trucker and my brother was. Love your attitude and your delivery (your words, not your cargo) is killer. Stay safe, run smart Doug So … then something big and just laying there in the middle would be a Zipper Gator???
