Sunday, March 28, 2004 - I'm still laughing
over a pickup truck that was sitting right in front of mine at
a red light yesterday. It was a big Dodge, bright red. Along
the roof of the cab in letters upside down ran the slogan: "IF
YOU CAN READ THIS, ROLL ME BACK OVER". Emblazoned on the
window behind the driver was a Dodge Ram emblem with the words
"BAD ASS" under it. On the passenger side window was the
motto: "Git in, siddown, shuddup and HANG ON!"
Despite these words, not a single ding, dent, or scrape
marred the finish on this beautiful new truck, which looked
like it has just been waxed and washed. Sitting in my own
10-year old pickup, I started to laugh. My truck has a dent
in the passenger side door, and numerous nicks, dings and
scratches. These have been honestly earned hauling horses,
hay and picnic supplies, carrying supplies, equipment and
volunteers for three day events and helping friends and
neighbors move furniture. Every scratch and dent represents a
good time had or a good deed done. Which pickup truck is more
beautiful? |
