Jerk of the Day for April 2, 2008
Jerk of The Day
...because every jerk thinks they are...Special!
Sighted by: Delta Flyer
Vehicle: 2009 Dodge Ram Doolie
Place: Texas State Fair Grounds
Date: Janurary, 2008
Is this the "Don't mess with Dodge" special for Texans? I thought that original ad was an anti-litter ad, but in the public's memory - it's "don't mess with me". As you can see, there is a crowd oogling the doolie at the truck show in Dallas this January ("TruckFest").
Women just love cowboys with trucks like this - if they still have cash to wine and dine left with a fuel bill to match a real semi. BTW, how many compact car spaces does it take to park one? (see yesterday's JOTD).
See a Jerk on the road? Send the picture and story and make them Jerk of the Day!

Re: Jerk of the Day for April 2, 2008
I don't mind if someone needs one of these to pull say a big horse trailer or the like but when you look at the picture it seems like a Marlboro commercial instead.

man if those can get over 20, I think there is definitely an efficiency issue with a LOT of cars on the road today...

I TOLD him to keep it locked up in the garage - that's what I do. It's about playing better politics.
