A salutary warning . .
I picked up a hitchhiker on a holiday weekend a long time ago. Drove him couple of hundred of miles, even offered to buy him food along the way. Once I got to my destination and he was sitting their in my car threatening me about he should take his knife out an cut me because I refused to give him money. He didn't know I had a steel bar ready to make his front face reach the back of his skull.
Be good to people but always be prepared for those special rare idiots.

Hay! What are the chances of me being a cop?

Is that philosophy kinda similar to: "Walk softly and carry a Big Stick"?
As Gomer Pyle would say..."Surprise, surprise, surprise."

I suppose a good ploy is to keep a toy pistol in the driver's side door. Then after you ask them the question in the window above, say "do you want me to drop you off at your destination or mine? Ha, that might get a laugh?

yeah, it was early for me this morning when I typed that reply and I had not had my cup of coffee yet.

Yeah, I know how that is . . . NOT because I'm a coffee drinker, but one of my dog's right ear wouldn't stand erect until he had his first cup of coffee (Cream- No sugar)!
