Job at the FBI
The FBI had an opening for an assassin .
After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done,
there were 3 finalists;
Two men and a woman.
For the final test, the FBI agents took one of the men to a large metal door
and handed him a gun.
'We must know that you will follow your instructions
no matter what the circumstances.
Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair .. . . Kill her!!'
The man said, 'You can't be serious. I could never shoot my wife.'
The agent said, 'Then you're not the right man for this job.
Take your wife and go home.'
The second man was given the same instructions.
He took the gun and went into the room. All was quiet for about 5 minutes.
The man came out with tears in his eyes, 'I tried, but I can't kill my wife.'
The agent said, 'You don't have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.'
Finally, it was the woman's turn.
She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.
She took the gun and went into the room.
Shots were heard, one after another. They heard screaming, crashing,
banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all was quiet.
The door opened slowly and there stood the woman, wiping the sweat from her brow.
'This gun is loaded with blanks' she said.
'I had to beat him to death with the chair.'
MORAL:
Women are crazy. Don't mess with them.

Hi Gang: (you too Chandler)...

The story about the Job at the FBI sounds like something my Ex-Wife would of loved to do too me on any given day....I won't say she was/is "Crazy" yet, I figured I'd better split "St.Louis" before she thought of something like this....
Although I'm alone today, I'm Alive!!!!.......

All the best to all, Keep it between the Ditches,,,,

Remember: Never Squat while wearing your Spurs.......

does anyone know if 'drop bumpers' will lower your measured bumper height?
example: stock 7 1/2", cop measures me 33". put on 10" drop bumper, cop measures me 31 1/2".

does that work? or should i be looking at something like the bar on the back of semi trailers?

Freddy I don't know. But I will bump this one for you. Maybe we can get John's (powerstroke72) attention, and get his LEO advice. John any words of wisdom for us here?

just to be clear. one of these hanging down from my rear bumper AND front bumper


mine would only need to hang 4-6" below the bumper, unless with those youd have to follow semi rules at 22"?
