Attention Truckers!!!

Saw this and felt the need to share it...Awesome

TRUCKING IS THE ONLY WAY

To travel the U.S. while going broke.

To learn all the back roads around the scales.

To be in one place by the log book, but actually be in another place physically.

To run 12,000 miles per month for $1.00 per mile when it's $.90 per mile in operating costs.

To catch a dispatcher in a new lie each day.

On a positive note, oil dropped the most today it has in 17 years. Time to burn my hybrid.

How do you really know the economy is suffering?

I will tell you how you know. It's not the housing market, or the price of oil, or the rate of inflation, it's hookers. That's right, when business is suffering for those in the sex business, that's when you know the economy is suffering. Legal brothels in Las Vegas are down 40% this year. That is worse than the housing market in California (38%)!!! Apparently it can be traced back to oil. Due to higher gas prices, truckers have been unable to take advantage of the services offered by such establishments as the Shady Lady and the Bunny Ranch. According to interviews (not done by me), truckers were one of the top sources of revenue for these businesses. In order to lure business back (seriously, how hard can that be?), some of these brothels are offering $50 gas cards when a client spends $300 or more per month. This is starting to sound like an ad for a used car dealership.

On a related note, I wonder what the misery rating is currently. I believe it was highest under President Carter (Dem) with 20% interest rates, 12% unemployment and a high rate of inflation. Just something to ponder.
