Scholarly Wisdom

Today I was remembering fondly a 'teacher' I had while training to get a top level driver's license. He was a grizzled old truck driver who made a small fortune driving before the industry was as closely regulated as it is now. In one driving circumstance he described we were advised how 'You don't know whether to shit or turn to page twenty-two.' There was another situation where he advised us to 'Twist your balls and grab a shovel.' He told us a joke that stuck with me... A guy walks into his kitchen where his wife is preparing dinner carrying a live sheep under his arm. Guy says, 'This is the pig I was having sex with behind your back.' Wife says, 'You idiot. That's a sheep not a pig.' Guy says to his wife, 'I wasn't talking to you.'
