2003 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

This story is sure to tickle the funny bones of truckers all over the world. y best friend sent me this email:

"Ok, so I'm driving home on the 401 and all of a sudden, the car just stops. STOPS..

It's freezing cold outside and my clothes are soaking wet from work and all I have is my stupid little jacket. There's a service station over to my right.. but its a ways off and over a fence. I decide to hike it. The fence is much bigger than I thought, and I have to climb a tree to get over it. Its a horrible ordeal getting over the fence.. I rip my jacket and cut up my arm and I'm bleeding .and still a 10 minute walk to the service station. When I get there... its closed. Its one of these .. truckers only places.. where you can only get inside the building if you have a card-key. But.. there's a phone booth. I get on the horn to my father.. who says he's sending help. Great news.. but I'm still freezing. I look behind me and notice alot of huge 18 wheelers parked there. Within a few moments... a guy gets out of one of the trucks.. and asks me what's going on.. and suggests I stay in his truck until the tow truck arrives... I think for a moment.. freezing.. and say.. sure. He shows me pictures of his past trucks and gives me green candies till the tow truck arrives. It was warm in there.. and he was very hospitable so I thank him profusely and he says.. ohh... no.. was completly my pleasure.. really.. really was my pleasure. When I exit the truck I notice a few of the other trucks that were parked there honking their horns. Which is when I noticed a distinct biting wind sensation in my buttock area. Turns out I'd ripped more than my jacket on that fence. I'd ripped a foot long hole in the back of my pants. I guess my butt was too cold and numb for me to notice until I'd warmed up in the truck. and no.. I was not wearing underwear.

.. if you need help visualizing..this means that all the guys in the 18 wheelers who were parked behind that phone booth.. were looking at my ass the whole time I was on the phone.

uh huh. how was your day?"

its an hillarious story.. not sure if there's a place in darwins... but sure would be cool if there was

Great story, but not a Darwin. More like "embarassing moments"

Hah! Great Personal Account from Karen, who really has a great story there, with a Good Samaritan trucker thrown in to boot.
