Meet Bobby..The Shit Tanker Guy
This is Gran Sissy's and our friend Bobby. No, they are not boyfriends..they are friend friends. Bobby and Gran Sissy hang out together all the time and keep one another company I guess. Bobby has been a regular fixture in our family for a few years now and is now like my uncle or something. He comes with Gran Sissy to visit Lil Miss Pissy every couple of weeks and comes to all our family functions etc.
He also likes to come to my house and fall asleep. Everytime he sits down on this couch his conks out and McKenna decorates him with whatever toy or funky sock or whatever she can find. Why am I telling you about Bobby you may ask..well, because this is my blog and I can say whatever the fuck I want but basically Bobby is fabulous. Other than puttin up with all my Daddy's bullshit on a daily basis he has been there for him and our family through thick and fucking thin. Him and my Daddy are like 2 fucking old women. It cracks me the fuck up. But, anyways..One of my favorite shows to watch on TV is Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe..it comes on the Discovery Channel. Well my friends, Bobby has a pretty fucking dirty job if you ask me. He works for his brother who owns a shit pumper business in my hometown. So Bobby drives the truck and picks up all the port o potties and empties them, delivers them etc. Pretty shitty job if you ask me but whatever. Anyways, Bobby told a story of when he was a younger lad and he was so fucking broke he didn't know how he would make it one more day. Believe me, I know the feeling..I have been there. The local fair that comes to town had port o pots and he would go every day to empty them and spray them out or whatever. Well, he was so broke this day and didn't have a clue how he would even buy his next pack of smokes when all of the sudden he notices a 20 dollar bill in the shitter. It was like God had answered his prayers. Of course he put on some latex gloves and got that shit out of the shitter and sprayed it off with the hose pipe (garden hose to all you non hillbillies)..he used that 20 dollar bill to buy him some smokes and make it through the rest of the week until payday on Friday. I can't say I wouldn't have done the same fucking thing. 20 bucks is 20 bucks, shit or no shit. Well, anyways..Bobby wrecked the shit tanker truck last week. The brakes failed on him and he smacked a tree and totalled the shit truck. Of course he didn't have on a seat belt and when you have 20,000 pounds of port o potties and shit behind you and your chest hits the steering wheel you can't expect there to be no damage. He called his brother and told him the shit truck was totalled and that he was ok. Turns out when Bobby woke up the next morning he was so sore he couldn't get out of bed. They don't offer health insurance in the shit tanker business so he wouldn't go to the Dr. Finally the brothers wife comes over to help him out of bed and takes his ass to the Dr. where he finds out that he has broken 3 ribs. Niiice. So on top of the shit tanker being totalled he has some damage. 3 broken ribs ain't easy on a 65 year old man. He came over on Christmas morning with Gran Sissy and had to sit on this couch the whole time cuz he had one of them thingys wrapped around his rib cage. Good news is his brother bought him a new shit truck so he is right back at it. Pumping shit and making this world a more nasty place. Bless his heart.

Bobby sounds like a kickass kinda hometown guy who doesn't deserve that shit. Glad you and Lil Miss Pissy are part of his life, to brighten things up.
