In The Driver’s Seat (For Starters …)

”Hey, Rebach! Did you know there’s a whole truck company named after me??”

Well, Mack is on a vanity trip again; at the expense of my beauty sleep! The “bassman from hell” on the rampage …

“Perhaps I should buy a truck and run you over!!!”

“There now, Old Man! Doh be a stick-in-de-mud! Enjoy life!!!”

“I was! Until you showed up!!”

“Isn’t it exciting? My name is known the world over!!”

“Hold it, Dougie, hold it. Your name might be known all over, but the company is not named after you.”

“Huh?”

“It was started by the Mack brothers in 1900 CE. Are you that old?”

“How would I know? I’m just a figment of your imagination!!”

“Same to be said for your ‘world acclaim,’ Sir!”

“Touché.”

“At least you share the name and the fame.”

“Yeah. Now to get some skin in the game.”

“Huh?”

“Oh, yes! It’s time to hit the road running!”

“Oh, Gawddd! Not again!!!!!”

“Absolutely again! What’s life without adventure!!??”

“More like misadventure!”

“Old Wet Blanket!”

“So, what’s this misadventure?”

“Er … ahmm … er … ahmm …”

“Are we stuck?”

“Er … ahmm … er … ahmm …”

“Well, you’re definitely in the driver’s seat!”

“Er … am … er … ahmm …”

“In the truck with YOUR name!!”

“Er … ahmm … er … ahmm …”

“Wake me up when it’s over!”

“Er … ahmm … er … ahmm …”

“On second thought, don’t!”
