[Vern Lyle]

Sat across from a trucker in a truck stop one day who had more facial piercings than he had whiskers. I mean, like 20 silver dangly things hanging from everywhere - nostrils, eyelids, lips and tongue. Not little things; long dangling things like earrings. Looked like the front end of an overdone Mack. I couldn't eat; I walked out rather than bust out laughing. Ashamed to be in the same species; don't know what sex it was, tho otherwise appeared to be male. Dying to ask him why, but guess I really didn't want to know.
