It was perfect, the day after a holiday when they were crowded. We had the curator/guide to ourselves all afternoon. I left very well informed. This feller worked for Kenworth all his life in sales. So he knew all about truck building and all the exceptional differences that can be found. That pictures was a "could you pull back there so I can grab a shot of that carrier?" on our way out type of thing. I recognized it from a prior thread and knew somelarry or other would recognize it.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

And if you like the mob.

The Site of Infamy – A Haven in the Gangster Era
Visiting Hot Springs, Arkansas, today, it’s hard to imagine the city as a hotbed for organized crime, such as gambling, prostitution and bootlegging. But from the late-1800s through the mid-1900s, especially in the 1930s, Hot Springs was a popular hangout for Al Capone, Frank Costello, Bugs Moran, Lucky Luciano, and other infamous mobsters. The safe, secluded scenic location of Hot Springs made it the ideal hideout. In order to understand how and why they chose this site, it’s necessary to reflect on the corruption that had been going on here for decades.
As early as the mid- to late-1800s, Hot Springs had been involved in illegal gambling. At that time, two families controlled these activities: the Flynns and the Dorans. The two families constantly fought over the city’s gaming rights – a competition that eventually led to the famous Hot Springs Gunfight in 1899.
During this realm of local rule, hotel rooms, saloons, and back alleys were the hotspots for cards and craps and casino-type gaming of all kinds. Hot Springs offered Las Vegas-style amenities before there was a Las Vegas.

Re: My Facetruck thread.

Have you ever been guilty of looking at others your own age and thinking, surely I can't look that old.
Well...you'll love this one.

My name is Alice, and I was sitting in the waiting room for my first appointment with a new dentist.
I noticed his DDS Diploma on the wall, which bore his full name.
Suddenly I remembered a tall, handsome, dark-haired boy with the same name had been in my school class some 40 years ago.
Could he be the same guy that I had a secret crush on way back then?
Upon seeing him, I quickly discarded any such thought.
This balding, gray-haired man, with the deeply lined face, was way too old to have been my classmate.
After he examined my teeth I asked him if he had attended Morgan Park High School.
“Yes”, he said. “I am a Mustang” he gleamed with pride.
“When did you graduate?” I asked.
He answered “in 1967. Why do you ask?”
“You were in my class”, I exclaimed.


He looked at me closely, then this ugly, old, bald, wrinkle-faced, fat-assed, gray-haired, decrepit, son-of-a-beech asked me.......... “What did you teach?”

Re: My Facetruck thread.

During a visit to a psychiatric clinic, a journalist asks the Director about the criteria used to determine whether a patient should remain at the hospital or go home.

“Well,” says the Director, “We do the following test: we fill a bathtub, then offer the patient a teaspoon, a cup and a bucket and ask him to empty the bathtub. Depending on how he empties the bathtub, we know if the person should remain interned and how to proceed with treatment.'


"Ah," says the journalist, “A normal person would use the bucket because it's bigger than the spoon and the cup”.

“No – says the Director - a normal person would pull the plug in the bathtub .... Would you prefer a room with or without a view of the garden? ...
