Wannabe Trucker

The 'rents and I spent the evening over at the Glory Of Rome - we had a nice dinner, shared some great laughs, and even came back with a few dollars in our pockets.  But on the way over there, a few times it seemed like we weren't going to make it.  We counted 3 different incidents when someone pulled out in front of someone and almost got creamed.  Luckily we were far enough away from those goofballs.  As we headed on down Cane Run Road toward the expressway, we noticed a guy on a bike riding on the side of the road. It was no ordinary bike.  This bike was kinda like the bike that Pee Wee Herman had stolen from him in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure."  There was a slight difference,though - instead of a having a basket on the front like Pee Wee did, this guy had a square plastic milk crate on the back of his bike.  And on each side of the milk crate he had a silouhette of the naked lady that you see on the mudflaps on the big rig semi-trucks.  There was also some big antenna on the bike, too.  We had a good laugh about that for a few miles, and we reasoned that the guy must be a wannabe trucker, and maybe the antenna was for his CB radio.  I wish I hadn't been driving so I could have whipped out my new Motorolz RazR cell phone with the camera and taken a picture of it.
