Byron’s been truckin’ most all of his adult life. Following his haircut one day, a trucker friend of his showed up as he was leaving the shop. He relayed the following story about Byron, while on a trip to Alaska...
On this particular trip to the north, Byron’s wife, Kay had decided to go along for the ride. Which wives do on occasion, to keep their trucker husbands, company, on such long and often tiring treks.
Midway through the first day on the road, it was time for a pit stop. In the meantime, Kay is now in the sleeper, having a mid afternoon nap. (OK, I know what you’re thinking... “Great company she is?”)
She appears to be sleeping like a baby, as the truck comes to a stop. Byron gets out without disturbing her, to use the washroom and grab a few snacks, before returning.
About a minute later, Kay is awakened and realizing that they are at a truck stop, decided she may as will take advantage of the stop and go use the little girls room.
While Kay is in the washroom, Byron returns to his truck, quietly straps himself in, and slowly pulls out of the parking lot, and heads down the highway!
As Kay made her exit out of the service station, and seeing only tail lights of their truck heading north, a slight panic sat in.
But she did managed to hitch a ride with another trucker, a few minutes later. About half hour up the road, they caught up to Byron, and proceeded to pass him. As they did, Kay waved to him from the passenger side window. And being the friendly guy that Byron is, as she caught his attention, he just casually waved back, never yet realizing it was his wife.
Eventually both truckers stopped. Byron got his wife back.
