806.0. "LEGS AND TRUCKS" by CGHUB::BERNIER () Wed May 08 1991 16:07

    	We had a discussion at lunch today about a couple of things.  It
    was all started when I said I was almost run of the road by a truck
    this morning.  The truck driver was watching the car that was passing
    him on the left.  I was in front of him going alittle over the speed
    limit.  The next thing I notice is he is right on top of me and still
    coming fast.  I stepped on the gas and started tooting my horn, this
    seemed to wake him out of his trance.
    
    	Some of the guys asked if the car was passing us was being driven
    by a woman.  I said I really didn't notice at the time, and asked what
    that would have to do with it.  Two guys started laughing and said if
    it was the driver was probably getting a show.  Both of these guys
    drive pick-ups and said they see alot of the samething.  Women with
    their skirts riding high up their legs or open shirts.  They both
    agreed that most of it is innocent and women are unware what they are
    doing or what they are showing.  They also said some women enjoy
    flashing and teasing the men drivers as they go by.
    
    	I must be living a sheltered life because I had never heard of this
    before.  Am I the only one ?

    My father is a retired truck driver (18 wheeler).  When I rode
    with him he would talk on his C.B. radio and I believe they
    referred to women in cars with skirts by saying "check out
    the seat cover in the white ford".  They did it all the time.

    Driving a truck can get VERY boring.

    P.S.  I was once driving in my TR4, top down, with a girlfriend who was 
    latently (blatently?) exhibitionistic.  I told her about the legs business.
    As we passed the next 18 wheeler, she raised her skirt, grabbed my hand
    and put it where good boys oughtn't to have their hand.  The trucker
    almost lost it and tootled his horn for a quarter mile.  Ah, memories!
    ;^)  [Gosh, I hope I don't get bashed for this.]

    My Dad was a truck driver, too.  ALL women drivers are "seat covers".
    
    My personal experience:  One HOT day I was driving home with the vents
    open.  I had on a full-skirted dress.  When the wind started really
    blowing in through the vent, my skirt went almost over my head.  Very
    hard to drive and try to keep a skirt down at the same time.  The
    drivers of the two trucks near me kept trying to get me to pull over..
    NO WAY!!  They weren't too happy when I finally got off on my exit,
    either.

This isn't a truck story, but it's in the same vein....

A few years ago I stopped at a gas station. I was wearing a really slick silk
blouse and I reached over the seat to get my purse off the back seat. The
(male) attendant came over to my car and was *extremely* attentive. I just
figured that I must look good that day or something. After a very long time, he
finished taking care of my charge and stuff and I left. As I was cruising
down the highway, I got a bit a of a draft....I looked down and much to my
surprise, my shirt was completely unbuttoned. (I had burst all the buttons on
my blouse when I reached over the seat.) I nearly died when I realized what 
that gas-station person must have thought!

I don't go to that gas station anymore :-)

    I passed a tractor-trailer truck the other day with the following
    stenciled on the back of the trailer and on the side near the front
    of the trailer:
    
    			Be a flirt
    			and raise your skirt
    
    Pretty amazing, huh?

    During my trip to/from Charlotte this past weekend, I saw:
    "Leg inspection, 45 ft ahead" and something which to me suggested
    a more modest positioning of garments, but I guess it wasn't catchy
    enough because I don't remember it.

    The same day this note began, I was driving down 495 and passed a
    truck. The driver beeped and scared the *(&^ out of me! (I happened
    to be daydreaming.)  I looked around for a state trooper or trouble
    ahead but I didn't see anything. So I looked at the driver in my rear
    view mirror and he was waving with a big grin on his face. I wasn't
    even wearing a short skirt!
806.19Truck Drivers and the Evangelistic TeamCSC32::DUBOISSister of SapphoThu Jun 06 1991 16:5915
When I was 24 years old, I was a member of the New Freedom Evangelistic Team.
We lived on a big plush bus which took us from town to town where we 
performed.  One day we stopped on the side of a large road to stretch our
legs and walk the itsy bitsy poodle who lived with us.  The guys on the team
informed me that it was my turn to walk the poodle, then they sat in the
front of the bus and laughed and laughed.  I could *not* figure out what
was up, and had checked and rechecked my blouse and skirt.  Finally I
demanded they tell me what was so funny, only to hear on the CB *several*
truck drivers talking about me.

These guys had also been the ones to tell me about looking down into
cars from the high seats of trucks and busses, and I became much more
careful from then on.
