Re: Re: Re: Re: Some people really don't have a sense of humor. I know what an OTR Escort is.

That's appropriate. But seriously, it was nothing more than a joke. I like your posts and I like the threads we've participated in. I've re-read the exchange several times and I can see how you might have taken it as meaning you, but I was just playing off the word "escort" to make a bad joke. It was in no way directed at you personally, or even the OTR job in general. It was just silly childish humor. Nothing more.

> > > > But "escort" is also a well-known and very old term for an up-scale hooker (think "Pretty Woman" with Julia Roberts). There are alert stalkers out there with nothing better to do than hunt down anything that could possibly be construed as reason for an alert. I went back and read the entire thread and I think it is quite obvious that I wasn't referring to you, or even making fun of hookers for that matter.
> > > >
> > > > Tobin's a trucker. He knows damn well that every truck stop has hookers all over the place, "lizards" at least used to be the term. I had a CB running all the time in my car in high school (late 70's, early 80's) so the accusation that I don't know what I'm talking about isn't correct. The first girl I moved in with eventually ended up in that profession.

> > > > I sent a PM because there's no sense in giving the alert stalkers more bait. I thought The Lounge was supposed to be a fun place! I mean seriously, how could you (not you in particular, but anyone) see the post that was alerted on as anything OTHER than a joke?

imo: Gorp had a PPR wish from the start.
