Re: Stole my trailer ! ! !
The other day I was headed to the boat ramp and there were some kids playing basketball in the street. They moved out of the way for us to pass and I waved to say "thanks". My friend's daughter was with us and she was holding her dog. One of the kids (probably 12-14 yr old) shouts out "I'm gonna steal your boat AND your dog". That remark in my day would have landed me an @$$ whipping like you wouldn't believe; whether the kid was saying it to be obnoxious or not to me is beside the point, that is what was in his head.
Maybe I'm a redneck, but that comment would have caused an immediate activation of the brakes and a discussion that, though maybe not leading to immediate butt whuppings, would have convinced the young little stains on society to be convinced that I was capable of hunting every one of them down with disasterous results to their future manhood if they even looked at that dog or boat.
I was riding down the street in my town one day and happened upon three little wastes of sexual pleasure who apparently thought it was big fun to throw pebbles at passing vehicles. They hit my truck with one of their throws. It is actually kind of amazing how quick a crew cab F150 can do a U-turn and run up on a curb before three 13 - 15 year olds can run. I never touched the little snots, but I will be shocked and surprised if they ever toss another rock at a charcoal grey F150 again. To make matters worse, I made the ring leader of the group call his mother. I think, based on her tone when she arrived, that she took care of the butt whuppings for me.
