A: Did I ever tell you about the time I got hit by a Datsun truck when I was driving my two-ton van?
|
J: No, you never did. What was that all about?
|
|
|
A: Well, what happened was, I was just outside of San Antonio, and this little Datsun truck was going ninety miles an hour and it hit us right in the back.
|
J: Oh my god.
|
|
|
A: You can guess what I felt like. I thought it was some little old animal or something, and it was...it was a drunk soldier in the Datsun truck.
|
J: Ninety miles an hour? Was he hurt?
|
|
|
A: No. He wanted to know where he was; he was drunk. He wasn't even hurt. Well, I found out that he was on his way to Fort Bliss- anyway, that's what he said- and along came the Texas Rangers, I mean really...
|
J:Oh yeah.
|
|
|
A: ...you know. They call them Texas Rangers down there- they're not just sort of State Police- and he was wearing like a twenty-gallon hat and he had his guns and he was wearing cowboy boots... I thought that was the end, the end of my life. Anyway...
|
J: Scared you, did he?
|
|
|
A: He really did. Anyway, as I was saying, like...he, he checked us out, and... he wanted to know it there was any damage on the van, and I said we just got some water sprayed on us from the radiator,from the squished truck that had hit us, and to make a long story short, he just let us go. He said he'd drive the soldier into town, you know, and he wouldn't even book him. He said the soldier had suffered enough, losing his truck.
|
J: Well, imagine that.
|
|
|
A: Yeah, it was really nice.
|
J:...
