I have no idea what the other truckers are saying other than an occasional " and " & " uh " ......
Left my truck & entered a foreign land ....

By Charlie B actually in Toms River N.J. on Thursday, October 27, 2016 - 07:55 pm:Keep you head down and eat. Don't pull out a smart phone if you have one. They don't know what it is and will probably shoot you for talkin' to yerself into a candy bar.
By Dallas landers on Thursday, October 27, 2016 - 08:07 pm:Charlie I believe that is pronounced ( choot you )
By Rich Bingham on Thursday, October 27, 2016 - 08:32 pm:Above all, don't make fun of the natives !!

By Dennis Seth - Jefferson, Ohio on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 07:02 am:You need to listen to some old Justin Wilson records.
By Dennis Seth - Jefferson, Ohio on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 08:03 am:I guess this time of year Justin Wilson's comedy routine "Cajun's in a cemetery" would be good for the Halloween season. Good clean humor that we don't get much of anymore.
By Charlie B actually in Toms River N.J. on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 08:13 am:Brother Dave Garner
By Robert G. Hester Jr., Riverview, FL on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 08:50 am:James Lewis, you get away from that wheelbarrow. You know you doesn't know nothing about machinery.

By the way, Justin Wilson had a cooking show on TV many years ago and I still make his Steak Étouffée from time to time.

By John Manuel, Lafayette, La. on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 12:30 pm:Well, how was the jambalaya? You were just across the basin from Lafayette where Dexter and I live. Hope you enjoyed the food!
By David Stroud on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 03:24 pm:BAM!!! Teeth, hair, and eyes all over the concrete! Dave
By Freighter Jim on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 06:27 pm:Well,
Lots of good replies posted ...
Jambalaya was standard truck stop fare.
Sign on the door was worth the visit ....

By Frank Kelley on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 06:55 pm:RGH Love that quote from the ofd party record of the 50's (that you could play most anywhere) about James Lewis. I thought I was the only one still using it!! Wish I still had the record.
By Charlie B actually in Toms River N.J. on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 07:48 pm:YOU GOT IT KEN. Haven't thought about brother Dave in probably 25 years.
By Donnie Brown North Central Arkansas on Friday, October 28, 2016 - 08:31 pm:Jim, If you are a coffee drinker, the coffee down there is usually served with "chicory". When they bring it to you in that "little bitty" cup that looks like a kids toy cup, you will understand why, after the first taste. That stuff will "stand the hair up on your toenails" Whole different world down there, and almost every animal or insect wants to kill you ...(as well as some of the natives) have fun and be safe Donnie Brown ...
