THE GRIZZLED OLD TRUCK DRIVER

A GRIZZLED OLD MAN WAS EATING

IN A TRUCK STOP WHEN

THREE VERY LARGE,

HEAVY SET BIKERS WALKED IN.

THE FIRST WALKED UP TO THE OLD MAN,

PUSHED HIS CIGARETTE INTO THE

OLD MAN'S PIE AND THEN TOOK A SEAT

AT THE COUNTER.

THE SECOND WALKED UP TO THE OLD MAN,

SPAT INTO THE OLD MAN'S MILK

AND THEN HE TOO TOOK A SEAT AT THE COUNTER.

THE THIRD WALKED UP TO THE OLD MAN,

TURNED OVER THE OLD MAN'S PLATE

AND THEN HE TOOK A SEAT AT THE COUNTER.

WITHOUT A WORD OF PROTEST,

THE OLD MAN QUIETLY LEFT THE DINER.

SHORTLY THEREAFTER,

ONE OF THE BIKERS SAID TO THE WAITRESS,

"HUMPH, NOT MUCH OF A MAN, WAS HE?"

THE WAITRESS REPLIED,

"NOT MUCH OF A TRUCK DRIVER EITHER,

HE JUST BACKED HIS BIG TRUCK

OVER THREE MOTORCYCLES."
