Yeah, the white sheets deal is old, old, old. But, don't laugh too hard at the guys that buy into it...
There was a time when we would have scoffed at the idea of a diesel cop wanting to search your truck.
We'd laugh at you if you told a tale of any cop giving you a ticket for just a clearance light being out.
We would have laughed even harder if you'd told us that one day they would carry little rulers in their pocket to check your brakes.
We'd all get a good chuckle if you told us that one day they'd haul creepers around to get under your truck.
We wouldn't have believed it if you had told us that one day we would be subjected to extensive "safety checks" while sitting on the shoulder of a two-lane highway.
We'd probably just shake our heads and mutter "rookies will believe anything" if somebody tried to tell us that there would come a time when we would have nationwide 72 hour DOT checks.
We'd have probably told you to "get real" if you tried to tell us that one day we'd be expected to produce receipts to prove where we had been and what time we had been there. Not produce them in a court of law, but on the side of the road.
We would have said, "NO WAY!" if you'd told us that one day we'd have to strip down and put on a hospital gown just to go piss in a cup on command.
I could go on and on, but...white sheets on your bed? If the white sheet manufacturers ever finance a study to show that white sheets promote better sleep and therefore are safer, you can count on some bureaucrat to cram it down your throat.
White sheets? Don't laugh...
