My Dad was a long haul truck driver. One day, he pulls into a truck stop, jumps out of the cab and walks towards the office. He gets half way there when suddenly, all the workers come running out of the garage area and whoosh pass my Dad. My Dad, thinking somethings going to explode, spins around and starts "hot footing it" back the way he came. He catches up to the workers and yells, while running full speed, "What's going on?". The guy he was yelling at stops and doubles over laughing. He points to their sign. "Fastest service in town".

It always struck me as funny because I could never imagine my Dad running, except the one time he had to chase me to give me a beating for playing with matches.
 
That's hilarious! [cl

I didn't think my Dad could run either. I certainly didn't expect Jesse Owens' speed in the shoes he wore.

If I use two mirrors, I can still see his "mark" on my behind. :D
 
That is funny, My Grandpa was a chauffer in New York after he came back home from WW2, he being a Oklahoma farmboy was amazed at the larger buildings and would often shand and look up in amazment of them. Soon he noticed when he did that soon lots of people would stop and look-up -some pointing. So he would go out and look up some times pointing at the top of buildings then when the street was full of people looking up he would walk away laughing all the way home at all the fools- looking up at nothing![cl[cl[ddd[cl
 
That's some funny stuff...........ya don't see that kind of service anymore do ya :rolleyes:

I didn't think my Dad could run anymore either but a couple summers ago he asked me to help him take down an old Poplar snag that stood near the driveway and posed a threat to his truck when parked in front of his house. So instead of getting a chainsaw I decided to give it a shake and it was quite rotten at the base so we decided to just shove it over......of course in typical Father/Son fashion we argued over which way it would fall.....my daughter happened to have here camera and snapped this pic as we started shoving on it........
