If city people think we are so stupid why are they so scared of us?

Why are you glad he made this up?? thats not what happened AT ALL! He made that up!

“I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig, you get dirty; and besides, the pig likes it.”

George Bernard Shaw

From this picture of the car, where you picked her up, you're saying that there was a foot and a half of water at the rear end of the car and she was standing in it.

So the picture was taken the next day, and the water level had dropped and then frozen solid, as it is in the picture? OK, I can see a frozen ice line along the car which may confirm that the car was in deep water. But why wasn't the ditch frozen in the picture?

Just one more small question...why wasn't she wearing a coat? Most folks in Central Illinois wear winter clothing during the winter.

Why would she be out in silk clothing with no underwear on? Evidently, from your posts that her clothes weren't hiding anything, I'm assuming she had on neither bra nor panties? And thin silk outergarments, with no coat? In Mid-January?

BTW if the truck isn't yours, whose is it since I believe in Post #1 you said that it's you standing beside your truck...

Hmmmmmmm....

Edited to add:

In Post#1 you did claim that the picture is of, "Me standing beside MY big truck"...now you say it ain't your truck? What'd ya do sell it since the thread began?

wonder how how she got into the back of that truck looks really high off the ground and dont look like there is a bumpper to climb up onto. fm i think ur fuller than christmas turkey you sure have and exciting life driving around in ur BIG truck lol. and i think i would rather have her sitting on wet silk than just bare butt naked on my seat if its such a expensive leather. but thats just MO

So if you had the coveralls why didnt you just let her change outside the truck and be a gentleman and not look. Problem solved. She is not in wet clothes and your truck is dry. Hummm bet cha never thought of that huh?
And another thing... you said you would have to get out to get the coveralls... why would you have to get out? In all the trucks I have seen you can reach into the back to retrieve something if you are parked and you were parked. You are just not making any sense.

FM, was this during the last snow storm you guys got? I bet she might have been drinking last weekend and got in this mess...!

Made what up? I took exactly what you said happened and put myself in the shoes of the other person to get an idea of how she must have felt.

Bottom line - your first move is to pull up and tell her to take off ALL her clothes to sit with you or else she has to ride in the bed of the truck soaking wet. As you title asks.... Why would she be so scared of you? hmmmmmmmmmmm

Boleyz,

My best guess as to why ;
The ditch wasnt frozen because the ice had froze thinly then bridged as the water droped thn broken and the bridge fell in and the water was still draining from the surronding land.

Why wasnt she wearing a coat? Again Im gussing. Because city people dont think they are going to have to walk ,particulary across flooding rivers in the mddleof the night.

Under wear? Your asking Me why women dress like they do? I cant even figger out why they try to drive little cars thu 3 + feet of water and you want me to explain style? I dont know she may have had them on if she did they were pretty thin.

The truck isnt mine I didnt say it was me standing beside my truck in the first post.
I said in narration Me,looking down from my big truck.
I ment I was in possesion of it and driving it.
I clearly said in post 20 it wasnt my truck to clear up any misunderstandings for those who may have missed other posts with that truck in it where where Ive explained its ownership.

When I got to dry land I did what you suggest.The reason I had to get out to get the coveralls is there is a TV in the way between front and back.

At the moment I first picked her up I was under a bit of stress and didnt think of all my options it took a bit for that to hit me. What I could have done but didnt think of till later ,and Id like to point out that noone else has here in all their relaxed contemplation ,would have been to have let her open the back door get the coveralls ,hand them to me , then she could climb into the back of the truck and then throw them to her to change then let her up front after we got to dry land.

But agin folks I dont think it was the getting naked that was the problem.

MWG
Nope not last weekend I dont think she had been drinking

Caberjim
I really dont know how to respond to your comments since they havent got anything todo with the situation

OK to move this thread along to its original point.
and hopefully get otheres to jump inwith their own stories.
Im sitting at home one night reading and after a while it dawns on me that Ive been hearing a car horn off in the distance. Iopen the door and listen, its sorta down towards my neighbors. I get up and get dressed to go out (carharts agin!) its cold and wet from a few days rain .
I walk about 1/4 mile in the dark till I come to a car stuck in the road on a curve and little hill. I live on a crummy dirt road ,its supposed to be gravel but I think thats just cause some kids threw rocks at it about 100 years ago.
anyway as awalk up about 5 feet from the car she blows the horn at me and starts hollering "stay back ,stay back" I back up a bit and hollar "whats wrong ?" she rolls her window down 1 inch and says she is stuck and cant get the car out. Now shes just on a slick clay bank and all she needs to do is back up and get a run at it and come up fast and over a couple of feet . I tell her that. She insists that she cant move and that I have to go get my tractor and pull her out. At that time the only thing I had was a chevy chevette not exatly pulling matriel. So I told her that and I couldnt do that.I offered to drive her car out for her she had a screaming fit that no way was she going to let a stranger in her car. Ok then Ill call some one for you. Nope she didnt have anyone I could call. asked if me or mywife (was married back then) could giveher a ride nope she wasnt riding with strangers I stood there a bit and asked "any other Ideas" she said no and I waved and turned around and left .
A bit later shes honking like crazy I walk back and she wants to know when Im coming back .I told her I wasnt ,Id tried and I really didnt see how I could help her if she wouldnt let me. Asked her agin what do you want me to do? She just shook her head and I started to walk off now she hollars "YOU CAN DRIVE MY CAR" so i walk back It took her a LOOOOONG time to unlock the car.I waited for her to get out but instead she slid over. I got in backed up a few feet gunned it and drove right out.
about 10 feet from the top of the hill she started to panic "WHY ARNT YOU STOPPING" LOl because the road is still muddy . it gets better at my drive do you mind If I save myself the walk? her; oh go ahead. I jump out and the end of my drive and now she needs directions turns out shes lost. I give them to her but it turns into a conversation long enough my ex came down and joined in they get into a gab fest long enough I left and finished my book.
But never a word of thanks.

gee, the train tracks here are too far away. Maybe a naked woman or three might just jump outa one of the log hauling trucks. Do ya figure?

And WHY didn't you make her strip off her clothes?

You missed a real opportunity to make her get naked before you helped...

Here's my story:

I've changed tires and jumped off batteries and pulled some folks out of mud.

Boring, huh?

None of them ever got mad, cussed, panicked, got naked or forgot to say thanks. Of course, I don't do unexpected and unexplained things like drive them to my house without a word of explanation.

I'd have probably said, "Hey, once we get un-stuck, would you mind if I drive on up to my house and get out there?"

Here's what wooda happened if I'd been the woman he picked up --

which wouldn't have happened because I don't drive an itty-bitty car nor do I drive through water like that, but anyway --

FM: I can help you, Ma'am. But, ummm.... yer clothes 'r all wet ... er, can I get your cane out of the car? Your Geritol? Gosh, yer sure wet 'n' all ... NO! Stop!! What are you doing! Put 'em back on! AAAARRRRGGGH! Here! Take this steering wheel cover! My jacket! Here! Goshawmighty woman! Take my jeans! Cover up! Quick!!!!!

Well Boleyz I cant WALK on water so I do make mistakes.

LOL as for the why I wasnt stopping in that case I had barely crested the top of the hill ! Boleyz You have seen my road what do you think its like on a rainy winter night after a few days rain? If I had stopped i would have expected her to scream WHY ARE YOU STOPPING OUT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NO WHERE?

September Wolf if you had been that girl you would have beat me with the cane! LOL

Look where the ICE is frozen to the doors and inside the car. That is how high the water WAS.

actually, if I'd been that girl I'd probably have used Bu Ryu Do on ya, seeing as how I don't need a cane.

Yet.

Boleyz ! This is exactly the satire needed to counter the tall tales we read about here.

This thread is based on fantasy, and little else.

It's quite obvious, and all the jaw-jacking is just for entertainemnt...

Let's See...what was the question again? How does it relate to homesteading?

Oh....."If city people think we are so stupid why are they so scared of us?"

who's *WE*?
