I always thought the "make a train take a dirt road" comment implied the girl was so ugly, the train would jump its track and head down the road. Then again, maybe the kids in my school had a different interpretation than Texans.

BTW, great column; also why is your funny friend so clueless?

See, here's where people part ways: I thought it meant a girl was so hot a freight train would take a dirt road to get next to her. Last time I was out in California for her birthday my mom said "everybody's the same" and I said, "First off at 97 you know about three people who are technically still alive and if there's anything I can guarantee you, people are not all the same."

I don't think my funny friend is clueless, I just thing he grew up in a different atmosphere with different values and reached different conclusions about the world.

I also think he's wrong, but he's still funny.

Here I am, pushing 70, and this is the first time I’ve encountered that phrase.

Well that's the truth... I am always surprised that I have friends who accept the crap even if they won't read it. Good one.

Our Country is in flippin danger. If Trump is convicted and can't run for President there is going to be rebellions like Jan.6. We are screwed any way it goes so you might better have a bomb shelter in place. Go ahead and convict him. At least you know the right thing has been done. Best way to beat a Bully!
