I don’t know how to drive a truck August 16, 2005
Posted by andy in : life , trackbackThe thought occurred the other day, as I walked down Mowbray Road toward the train, that there are no manuals available that inform the individual on how best to drive a truck.
What if I needed to drive a truck and I couldn’t do it?
!!
If most of the people on the earth died, and I was one of the last survivors and I NEEDED to drive a truck, what would I do? Teaching myself how to drive a truck could be dangerous. They have a couple of different gear/clutch mechanisms, about 3 different brakes and over a dozen horns, some quite loud.
What if I used the duck horn erroneously and failed to scare the elephant crossing my path? Minced elephant? Or minced truck (and hence trucker-burgers)? Would it make a difference if it were Indian or African? What would it be doing in the Australian outback (what would I be doing in the outback)? Would it know how many friends to call if I asked it to replace a lightbulb?
Manuals! They certainly do save us from a LOT of problems.

Thinking of a career in trucking?? Think no more.
Actually… you should probably do a little bit more.
How hard can it be? Insert pill -> drive.
it’s all about double cluctching. maybe even some heel-and-toe action!
So you’re saying that the heel and toe polka is the answer?
Well then is there a book on barn-dancing in case of such an emergency?
Of course there is.

Anyone need any books from Amazon? I’m goin’ on a buyin’ frenzy!
YEEHAAH!
