BATHROOM BOUNCER

By Mel Hansen, Eighteen Wheeler Philosopher

This morning at the truck stop, I went into the men's rest room where no one at the 6 washes sinks. Upon leaving a few minutes later all 6 sinks were occupied with either someone shaving or brushing their teeth etc. There were six of us with our backs to the wall waiting to wash our hands.

The ol boy standing next to me could have been a dead ringer for my great friend, Russ Harris, except for the “Snydly Whiplash” wide handlebar mustache! One big tough individual! Bull Wagon jockey for sure! The sweat stained hat ban around his black cowboy hat was a fairly good indicator.

The guy in front of him, after shaving and brushing his teeth, proceeded to take off his t-shirt and laid it on the counter! My Russ lookalike friend, looks down at me and says in a calm baritone tone, “oh hell no!”

In still a calm tone, but at a level all in the room, maybe then some, could hear says, “enough of this sh*t!!  This truck stop provides shower rooms...SO USE THEM INSTEAD OF THIS BATHROOM!”

The six occupants of the sinks, two white European dudes, three Indians with turbans around their heads,  and one Mexican, immediately stop and look in the mirrors at us behind them, but just as quick resume their spit bath procedures out of the hand sinks.

The big European dude in front of my Russ lookalike friend turns and says to him in an accent somewhat hard to understand. “Sorry!  I don't understand English!”

My Russ lookalike friend gets nose to nose with him and says “well apparently you understand and speak enough English to say what you just said.  I believe you understand more than you let on.  You'd have to because you drive a truck, but I'll use hand language for ya!”

My Russ lookalike friend grabs the shirt and bathroom bag off the counter and chucks them out into the entrance!  Then grabs the dude by the arm and drags him out the entrance!

My Russ lookalike friend is almost ran over by the remaining 5 guys, three of whom still had toothbrushes in mouths,  as they were headed for the entrance before they were introduced to hand language!

My Russ lookalike friend walks up to the sink. I walk up to the one next to him. He looks over at me with a grin and says. “I guess if Trump can take America back, I can take back the hand washing basins at truck stops!

My reply to him with my own grin...I reckon so!
