| I was driving through British Columbia the other day and went through a construction site that lasted for maybe 10 miles. There was lots of trucks, construction equipment and men. Everything looked normal until I realized that.......EVERY SINGLE F***ING PERSON WAS WORKING!!!!!!!!! |

Well, in the U.S. I'm use to seeing 5 people standing around in a group here and there watching 1 person actually working.
From what I saw the other day, Canada as also hired every blond good looking woman as a flagman. They have been trained to wave and smile at every person driving by. I passed at least 10 and still have no idea what the sign said as I was passing. |

Anytime you're feelin' froggy, sell that truck and pick up a shovel,...work on a road crew. I don't know about anyone here, but I would be the king of breaktime if I had to bust my back spreading asphalt all day.
I remember a few years back some guy got his video camera out and took video of a road crew. He found out that they take turns because it's some of the hardest work to do.
Now the blondes,......there all transexuals,...very popular in Canada I hear. |

On occasion, I've come across road crews staffed entirely by women, each one working her butt off. And a few times, I've even chanced upon road crews comprising of both men and women, where the boss man was actually a woman. Up in the oilpatch near Fort McMurray, quite a few of the monster dump trucks ( the ones whose tires alone are as tall or taller than a regular truck ), are driven by women.
And then ofcourse....one of my trainers back at truck driving school, was this prim & proper woman in her early 40s, who drives log trucks for a living.....now, pulling those beasts with a super b configuration, up and down the bush roads in the mountains of western Alberta, in the dead of winter.....I honestly don't think that very many truck drivers have either the cojones or the ability to do that.
Finally, we have our very own Arctic and ice-road expert WildKat ( not to forget Lady NorthStar ), who know a thing or two about driving in adverse conditions.
Despite being a man myself, I couldn't help but feel good about the fact that women are now catching up. |

| I invented a game called DOT bowling, when you get next to a work crew standing around you give them a blast of your horns and count how many drop their shovels and thats how many pins you got, if one jumps out of the way also counts for a pin, if one falls down you have a strike and if they knock down one or more of their coworkers you have a double or a turkey.Works best when they are standing near the wall with their backs to you. :lol: |

I knocked a hard hat off the other day. 50 mph zone and He was standing on the dotted line looking at his toes and the wind from my trailer blew his hat clean off. THEN, he starts to go after it but he stopped....good thing too 'cuz there was another truck behind me. He would've been dead. |
