THE DR.
PHILBILLY SHOW - Road Trip
by Wayne Carlan
A couple of
years ago me and a friend, let’s call him,
Jeff Oalmann, took a road trip to Tennessee. He
and his wife had been thinking about maybe moving
up there, so Jeff and I went to scout out the
area and check out some homes for sale. On the
way home Jeff is driving and I doze off. Nothing
like a good quiet nap on a long road trip, but I
should have known better. I guess Jeff got tired
of listening to me snore and he probably wanted
someone to talk to so he’s trying to think
of a plan to subtly wake me up. You think he
thought about saying “hey Wayne, you awake?”
Heck no!
Well with
great timing, he sees his opportunity. There is
this tow truck hauling an eighteen wheeler cab
down the interstate in front of us. He’s
hauling it backwards so when you get right behind
it – what you see is the front of the truck.
So Genius (that would be Jeff) pulls as close to
this truck as he possibly can, then lets out this
blood curdling scream. My eyes pop open and
wouldn’t you know it. I’m about to die
in 1.5 seconds. All I can see is the front of
this big Mack truck coming straight for us. My
life flashed before my eyes as my arms cover my
face. I scream like a twelve year old little girl
and that’s when I realize, I need a new pair
of drawers.
Wait a minute,
how come we haven’t crashed yet? Why am I
still alive? WHY IS JEFF LAUGHING HIS BUTT OFF?
That was just plain ‘ole wrong. Now…
I’m all about a good joke but daaaang!
Needless to say Jeff had someone to talk to for
the next seven hours. I even tried to talk him
into letting me drive the rest of the way home
but no can do. That’s ok, just gives me
plenty of time to start plotting on him. Sleep
with one eye open Jeff… I’m just
sayin’.
