Tow Truck

While I was driving truck, most of the other drivers were younger than me, I had driven a lot of miles and had a lot of experiences on the road. The story I am going to tell you is just one of my experiences.

As I said the other truck drivers were younger than me. we all had to lay over in this western town. After we had eaten one of the guys was shining his shoes, another driver said, where in the hell do you think your going? To the Comedy Club.

I was in this town once and the Comedy Club is a great place to pick up women. Lets all go, suggests one of the guys, they all crowded around the mirror to comb their hair. When they were satisfied that they were the cats meow, they started for the door. One of them turned to me and asked. Are you going to just sit there and read that old magazine or are you going to come with us pops?

I said as I put down the magazine. I don't want to sit here by myself so I might as well go with you guys. But first let me call a cab. I don't want to walk all over town looking for the place. Are you sure you know the name of the place? Yeah the Comedy Club he says. I call a taxi And the young fellows were talking about their experiences with girls. Then the taxi arrived, we all got in it and the guy that told us about said to the driver with authority. Take us to the comedy Club.

The taxi driver knew exactly where it was. After he let us off and all of us went in, we had to pay a cover charge at the door. The young fellows chose a table to sit at. but they weren't there very long. All of them were up and dancing, I could tell they were going to have a great time. I sat at the bar next to a lonely looking gal that was much my junior. To start the conversation I said, "I bet you like horses huh?"

She gave me a dirty look and said, "get lost old man I'm not in the mood to talk."

"Young lady I know I'm much older than you, and I don't expect to pick you up, But at least you could show me some respect, I have done nothing to you."

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again."

"Thanks", I said.

Then she started telling me about herself. Her mother and father were killed in a plane crash. Her father had a lot of money besides an auto towing business, all of that was left to her plus a one hundred thousand dollar insurance policy in her name. She had an attorney suing the airline for two million dollars for her parents death, She told me that all she wanted was a baby from some Italian Good fighting stud.

I couldn't resist it. "I'm Italian and if I do say so myself I can Whip the best of them."

She looked me in the eye and said, "lets blow this joint". I was so proud to follow that long haired blonde out the door. I waved to a couple of my friends as I left. She led me to a Porsche that was -parked in the parking lot, and threw me the keys, here you drive.

She directed me to the most beautiful mansion that I had ever seen. "Is this yours?"

"Yeah, you like it? My daddy left it to me. I am an only child. It sure gets lonely When the staff is off. But I keep busy with the towing company, sometimes I even go on a call."

"How many people work at the towing company?"

"Twenty two counting the book keeper and the secretary, I'm the dispatcher. But enough of this chit chat, come on in."

After walking up the cement stairs from where I parked the Porsche. She reached in her jeans and pulled out a key, as she handed it to me she squeezed my hand and pulled me close to her and kissed me passionately on the lips. I have to admit, I was receptive. We stood on the brick porch for at least ten minutes petting passionately. I broke away long enough to put the
key in the lock and open the door. What a grand house I saw. The winding stairway was right by the front door. I remarked to her what a beautiful house she had.

"Never mind that. Lets go to my bedroom." She guided me by my hand up those winding stairs, we walked a short ways down a long hall and she opened the door to her bedroom

I had made love to a lot of women in my life, but I believe she was the most passionate women I ever made love to. When we were done, without saying a word, she took me back to the Porsche. "I'll drive" she said, I handed her the keys and we were on our way.

"Where are you staying?" I told her what motel and she said she knew it. Well, I never found out if she knew it from the men she had there or the towing business. She drove right to the motel. I kissed her goodnight and went in the door.

The young fellows were done visiting the Comedy Club. None of them had matched up with a girl. They gathered around me and asked, "How did you do it old man?"

"She was young and beautiful."

"Just lucky I guess."

I phoned the tow truck company eight months later. She answered the phone and told me, "it will be another month and you will be a daddy".

I relished the news and went back to the picnic with my wife and two sons.. We were having a ball with all our fellow Scotsmen.
