Motorhome bummer

[Henry Jay Hannigan]

--- In Australia, I once pulled way off the road to help a trucker
comming fast to get around me in my slow diesel motorhome......kind
of a good samaritan thing(lawyers can be good too!)...anyway the
shoulder ran out on me and ..I almost had a real disaster but made
it through it....a few klicks down the road, there was the "fast"
semi at a roadhouse for coffee...right then I vowed to never go off
the road just because I was slow...let em pass or let em wait until
I can safely pull over.....
LOL
