I laid over in Winamuca, Nevada. After I was through gambling at the casinos, I ducked in a little restaurant to get something to eat, I started a conversation with the waitress and told her I was a truck driver, The she told me this incredible story.

She had married a truck driver and was very happy, then one day he confessed. I have another wife, but I'll get an honest divorce from her tomorrow promise. Yes, he got the divorce, but come to find out he had a third wife, he went up to the judge for his divorce from her, The judge recognized him and he said, I just gave you a divorce last week. One hundred and fifty days for bigamy was his sentence. That wasn't good enough for the waitress, she divorced the truck driver with the grounds of bigamy.

She told me she has a good faithful truck driver now that she is going to marry. She told me his name and who he drives for. I didn't have the heart to tell her that I had dinner with him and his wife and three kids the night before.
