    Don't mind helping family and friends out, but I do ask them to donate beer and pizza :notsure:

    They've helped me on more than one occasion so...tit for tat.

    This is the exact reason I never drive my Tundra to church. Mormons are notorious for asking for help from the guy at church with the truck. When I was growing up, my Dad even had people from church, that he barely even knew, flat-out ask to borrow his truck for the day. My Dad, being the nice guy he is, let him borrow it. When it was returned that night at 10 (4 hours past when it was supposed to be back) the tailgate was scratched to hell, and the bumper dented up so bad that the tailgate wouldn't lower all the way. I usually share that story when people ask for my help. Either that or I tell them, "Sure, I can help, but I only have a certain amount of time I can help." Unless, like @Law323 said, they are my buddies or family, then I'm down to help whenever. Pizza and Mountain Dew are required payment though.

    You could just start rocking silkies aka the daisy dukes of freedom. They're comfortable, allow maximum ventilation and movement and generally intimidate the general populous, especially when they're tight enough accentuate your man-bulge.
    I doubt anyone will want to ask you for favors if you have your pork and beans half showing.

    Buying a Crewmax works. If they had something to move as small as the CM bed they could probably carry it by hand!!!!







    That was a jab at CM''s if nobody caught it :boink:

    Utah eats more Jello and ketchup per capita than any other state. I'm sure @FlashCulprit can confirm.
