The Trucker, Revisited




Eventually I grew tired of beating the children of the "officer" 
who attempted to arrest me. 
I told them they were free to go. 
They thanked me. 
As they turned their back and began to walk away, their spirits broken, 
I tore their spines from their backs and beat them to Sign of the 
Gypsy Queen and locked them in the bathroom. 
I went outside and walked down the street to the local empty tanker 
truck store and after "persuading" the salesman by playing a song on his head
(a cover of Hotel California by the Gypsy Kings) with the spines of the 
youngsters, he offered me the keys to a brand new fully decked truck and 
trailer.
Struck with an epiphany, I walked into the shop and got an arc welder and 
2 pintle hooks. I walked out to the yard and found myself two semi trailers 
not hooked up to trucks. I smiled... this definitely had possibilities. 
On the rear tank of the truck that I had the keys for I arc welded the pintle
hook. To this I hooked up one of the semi trailers. 
To the rear of the other semi, I welded the other pintle hook and hooked up 
the final semi trailer, thus giving me a truck and four tanks, but since 
a semi is worth 2 normal tanks it was like having 6 tanks. 
I walked the 150 some odd feet back to the truck making sure all my 
placards were set to different things and hopped in. 
Reached across the seat and tossed the registration, license, log, hazmat 
certificates, and passenger seat out the window. Smiling I reached out 
the window and tore the side windows off their hinges and put them where 
the passenger seat was, on top of these I lay the spines of 3 small 
children.
I fired up the truck and pulled out of the lot and drove 2 blocks to the 
nearest gas station. I inserted my gas credit card into the reader and 
began filling the tanks with fuel. 5 days later I was done. Dropping the 
truck down into 3rd I revved the engine to 4000 rpm 
and slowly let the clutch out, it took about 25 minutes but I finally 
got it up to 75 mph and hit the open highway...
