You probably had to be there

As you can probably gather, I've been riding with my bf quite a bit when I'm off and he's driving. Most of the time when I ride with him, we are "bobtailing" (driving without a trailer) down to Orlando, pick up a mail load and bring it back. We usually have the CB on so that we can hear what's going on as far as traffic is concerned. I guess I'm starting to become a "trucker babe" because I'm starting to understand the lingo they use on the CB... or at least I thought I was. The other night, we were bobtailing to Orlando and someone going east bound on I-4 got on the CB and said "Westbound, bobtail, what are you leaving behind you?" Now I immediately think that something has fallen off the truck or that one of the tires is coming apart or something. Turns out that all he was asking was if we saw any cops or traffic problems along the way. And of course we had a great laugh at my expense. ::sigh::
