Default Idiots

Man, they are everywhere. I'm in the propane business and a guy just came in to have a 20# (5 gal.) propane cylinder filled for his grill. Nothing unusual about that except he came in on a crotch rocket. My dock man told him no way would we fill it. The guy just couldn't understand why we thought it was so dangerous to do. He tried to explain but nothing got through. Problem is someone will fill it, he'll leave with the damned thing bungee-corded to the seat, it'll fall off and someone is gonna get hurt real bad. There's an idiot on every corner. Be on your toes.

Oh yeah! That little 5 gal tank of propane is not going to make a big boom when it falls off............NOT!

Heck I was concerned about having the tank strapped down in the bed of my truck! No way would I try strapping it on my HOG.[sm=badidea.gif]

If I had a dollar for everytime I heard the Hank Hill thing I would have retired by now and be ridin'. Same thing with the question, "gotta light?" Goes with the territory I guess.
