Yesterday's thread

I picked up a Mexican in the rain one Sunday. Couldn't speak a lick of English. He smelled horrible. I drove him a few blocks to a library to get out of the rain. Wife was very angry that I did it (I was alone at the time).

It's not good but a couple of friends of mine picked up a female hitchhiker in the dark after a concert (about 1981) and one of them got her in the back seat and thought she was good-to-go when she was actually heavily menstruating. They dropped her off at a gas station and the car's back seat in daylight looked like a slaughterhouse. The backseat Romeo is still called "Lincoln" like the copper penny. The car was an Olds 98 Regency.

Not since the 80's when I was in my twenties. It was a really cold Christmas Eve. I had to work that day because I didn't have any vacation to take as it was my first Christmas at the job. I was driving home to North Louisiana from Dallas by myself. Stopped for someone while I was pulling back onto I-20 after a bathroom break in Tyler. Didn't know it was a girl until I opened the door.

As she stuck a bag on my back seat, I told her I the only had $30 cash and if she tried to use the credit cards I had on me, they'd put her in jail. That was the truth too. She just laughed and said not to worry.

She was going to Shreveport. I actually dropped her off at the courthouse because she wanted to go to a homeless shelter and I had no idea where one was.

No crazy story. I stopped because I felt really sorry for anyone being out in the cold on Christmas Eve. I felt bad that she was going to a shelter too.

I don't know 25, 50. Who keeps count?
