That is why back in the days of the Roman Empire they had to drink wine because the water was too polluted to drink and the alcohol in the wine actually killed the big bad germies in the water.

OH NO!!!!!!


Someone call the "Enviro-Nazis"....We need to stop adding anything to water to change the flavor in the name of "Pollution Control"!
 
WATER;
6~ Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.

8~ Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

A funny bit by Louis Black on water and your health. ****WARNING**** THIS VIDEO CONTAINS ADULT LANGUAGE.
And now for the properties of COKE:

2~ You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days. So? Whats your point? I can cook one up and it would be gone in 30 mins or less.


For your info:

1~ The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. It's pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also bleaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis. Pure phosphoric acid will "rust" away a nail in about 4 days.

2~ To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous materials placcards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
Not true!

3~ The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Concentrate Coke syrup makes a great concrete floor cleaner but at about $89 a gallon not vary economical

Now the question is, would you like a Coke or a glass of water?
Coke with a little ice.
 
I very rarely drink cokes. Vanilla cokes are awesome, but I usually stick with water, or naturally flavored water. My favorite drink so far (next to beer) is a freshly squeezed lemon in a glass of ice water.

One day I ran out of Corona. So I squirted some lime juice in a bottle of water. I've been doing that ever since.
 
Fast learner but everyone doesn't have that luxury. You paid off a frieightliner and bought a Kenworth in a years time?

I paid cash for the first used Freightliner with money that I earned while I was in high school, Bought a second one and hired a driver for the first and then ordered my KW....When I got the KW I hired a driver for my second Junkliner and I drove the KW.
By the time I was 22 I learned the most valuable lesson in my young life...

"Never buy more trucks than you can drive by yourself because most truck drivers are trash and will tear up your trucks and irritate your customers."

Since then I have never had the desire to own more than one.

Before you say it....Nobody ever handed me anything, I worked overnights on a freight terminal dock while I was in school, I finished work at 3:00 AM, went home and slept a couple of hours and then went to school at 8:00 AM, Went home and got some rest and went to work at 9:00 PM.
I saved my money....I had a goal to be an O/O as soon as possible!

I admire your work ethic at a young age, but buying a truck in four years while going to high school? Must have been a good paying job or a cheap truck?
 
The job paid $12.00 an hour in the early 70's when minimum wage was 98 cents an hour...Most of my friends were partying and working at McDonalds for peanuts...I always placed a higher value on my labor than that.

I was making close to $400 a week while they were making $25 a week.....I was always taught that I could get whatever I wanted if I worked hard enough....I worked hard enough.

The first truck was 10 years old and cost me $6500 and the second was 5 years old and cost me $8500....The new Kenworth was $42,000 and the trailer was $10,500, I financed that truck with a substantial down payment at the time of the order....At 20 years old and with no credit history, It was no easy task!

That is admirable and awesome. Some folks have the attitude and work ethic, but not even college grads can land a job making $12.00 an hour nowadays. However, I am impressed with your goals and ambition from an early age. I admire truckers who do what they do because they wouldn't think of doing anything else.
