So...di I look like a criminal?

So I'm driving my buddy's car....yeah, I do have friends....it CAN happen.

When his gauge says empty....it's freaking empty. A nice couple from Italy immediately stopped and schleped me to the local thief...excuse me, gas station....borowed a can, filled it at $3.78/gallon.....tole ya he was a thief

Anyways, on the way back I stuck out my thumb and 60+ cars passed me by.

I was wearing 300 dollar Tony Lama boots, nice shirt and slacks. Die yuppie douche bags......




Maybe if I looked like this I woulda got picked up faster?

Now that. Is kinda funny. Especially since you wrote it in the same sentence.


All that money and smug, and you don't even know how to read a gas gauge!!!

I keed, I keed.

Nobody wanted that stinky gas can in their car.
I realize the gas can is sealed, but as people were driving by they probably smelled the boots.
An honest mistake.

Sure, that would probably do it.

Or... if you looked like this guy (from the www.peopleofwalmart.com site):



(Yes, you're seeing what you think you're seeing... cleavage.)

Seriously, we live in a crazy world. Nice shirt, normal-looking dude... it doesn't really matter any more... psychos can look normal and get ahold of nice clothes.

I used to pick up hitchers once in awhile.

No more. Not for probably 20 years or more now.

Squint your eyes a bit and look at your photo...

Would you pick that guy up?
