This isn't a joke per se, but it was so funny I have to share it.

Last night I was in the diner having a late supper with a few other drivers and there was a non-trucker sitting in our reserved area. OK. No big deal, we don't care really. But then he starts listening in to our conversation which happened to deal with braking distances and how they differ from smaller vehicles. All of a sudden he just pops out with "You know, I just don't understand why big rigs can't stop like a car...after all, you have 18 brakes!"

Total silence ensues around him and spreads through the whole area as what he said is passed along. He got this dumb look on his face as he looked around at everyone staring at him and he says "What?" It was a priceless Kodak moment. Too bad I left my camera in the truck.

Then the snickering started. It spread to total laughter and this schmuck couldn't understand what was so funny! He finally got up and scooted out of there as fast as he could. That story is STILL being retold by the waitresses and drivers.

I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
