Sat in the waiting area in the warehouse, which happened to have nothing but war heads. I said to the MP, "Interesting looking air conditioner parts" and he just ignored me. And this is a true story.

Oh ****! I can imagine you didn't expect that! Why don't I ever haul anything cool or unusual?

Had a few weird ones on the skateboard. Favorite, though, was a load of horse manure from a stud farm in Kentucky. Those Thoroughbreds had only the best diet I was told, so this load of horse cr#p was valuable to the customer in Michigan. No tarp, "product" had been baled in a fashion.
Best part was that it stunk. Grreeeen. Summer. Humid, but not hot. Mild breeze. Made it a point to park upwind at the truck stop that night, right between two reefers . . . and in listening to the CB finally felt I had some payback for all the nights I tried to sleep with windows open and a reefer would pull in right next to me just to wake me up.
Delivered next morning to a mushroom farm.

Pure evil!
The humm of a motor actually helps me sleep, I usually have trouble falling asleep if my motor isn't running, but then again I was always the type too to put on a fan on just for the sound to sleep to.

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt.
