CT Chapter February B/S thread
The leader, a big guy from Colorado gets off of his bike and says "What are you doing?".
"I'm going to commit suicide!" she says.
While he did not want to appear insensitive, he didn't want to miss an opportunity like this. So he asked "Well, before you jump why don't you give me a kiss?".
So she does and it is a long deep lingering kiss!
After she's finished, the biker says "Wow! That was the best kiss I've ever had! That's a real talent that you're wasting".
"Why are you committing suicide?"
She replied "My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl....."

He thinks that he is smarter than the deputy because he is a lawyer
from New York and is certain that he has a better education than
any cop from Nowhere, Alabama. He decides to prove this to
himself and have some fun at the Alabama deputy's expense.
The deputy says, 'License and registration, please.'
'What for?' says the lawyer..
The deputy says, 'You didn't come to a complete stop at the stop
sign.'
Then the lawyer says, 'I slowed way down, and no one was coming.'
'You still didn't come to a complete stop, Says the deputy. License
and registration, please.'
The lawyer says, 'What's the difference?'
'The difference is you have to come to complete stop, that's the law.
License and registration, please!' the Deputy repeats.
Lawyer says, 'If you can show me the legal difference between slow
down and stop, I'll give you my license and registration; and you give
me the ticket. If not, you let me go and don't give me the ticket.'
'That sounds fair.. Please exit your vehicle, sir,' the deputy says. At
this point, the deputy takes out his nightstick and starts beating the
daylights out of the lawyer and says, 'Do you want me to stop, or
just slow way down?'
Hello everyone:As for driving across ice there are two mine fields to be aware of.
One is shoals out in the middle of nowhere, and too the shallows as you approach shore.
The other is springs beneath the lake.
With the shallow water areas, the weight of the vehicle bends the ice which then produces a bow wave underneath the ice. Like ocean surf the wave builds as the water gets shallower, unless you slow down the wave can build to the point of rupturing the ice in front of you. Its the shoals out in the lake take catch you unaware.
The shallow water springs are like the circulators placed beneath boats to keep them from freezing in. Even when the lake ices over completely, those areas will still be thinner than the surrounding areas.
The locals of course know where the shoals are from fishing the lake, and where the springs are by watching the lake freeze over.
Those who were in the Army for arctic warfare training were given manuals concerning vehicle weights and speeds for given ice and bottom contitions. I suppose that's how the Ice Road Truckers got their information.
