FOREWORD: KEEP YOUR CB HOT AND YOUR INSULTS HOTTER
-------------------------------------------------
The road is long, the loads are heavy, and sometimes a good CB roast session
is the only entertainment on the highway. Whether clapping back at a
slowpoke, calling out a rookie, or keeping the airwaves lively, keep it fun
and light. If they cannot handle the heat, they should not be idling in your
lane.
1. CLASSIC CB COMEBACKS
-----------------------
* Your truck's got more rattles than a daycare at nap time!
* You drive like my granny... and she's been in reverse since '92!
* Your gears grind louder than your ex-wife's lawyer!
* Your rig's so slow, I passed you in a parking lot!
* I'd tell you to put the hammer down, but I see you already lost it!
2. MOMMAS, WIVES, AND HOME-ALONE ROASTS
---------------------------------------
* Your wife's like a rest stop -- everybody pulls in, but nobody stays too
long!
* You been out so long, even the dog don't recognize you anymore!
* Your old lady's got more traffic than the weigh station on a holiday
weekend!
* Your kid calls your dispatcher Dad now!
* I'd ask if your wife misses you, but she's too busy to answer!
3. SLOWPOKES, FOUR-WHEELERS, AND ROAD HOGS
------------------------------------------
* You're so slow, I could've delivered and retired before you hit the next
exit!
* You must be paid by the hour, 'cause you sure ain't paid to move!
* I'd flash my high beams at you, but I don't wanna wake you up!
* Your truck's so weak, even the speed-limit signs are laughing!
* If you go any slower, I'm gonna start charging you rent on the highway!
4. ROASTING DISPATCH AND THE BOSS MAN
-------------------------------------
* My dispatcher's idea of quick pay is a calendar with no dates!
* You want me to haul what, where, and for how much? You been sniffing
diesel fumes again?!
* I got a better chance of seeing Bigfoot than a fair load from this
company!
* Dispatcher says "just one more stop" like I don't know that's a lie!
* My paycheck's lighter than my empty trailer!
5. ONE-LINER SPEED-ROASTS
-------------------------
* Hammer down, or pull over and start a garden!
* Your truck's got less power than a used-up AA battery!
* You drive like you just Googled how!
* Your fuel tank's got more leaks than your dispatcher's promises!
* I've seen tighter turns in a kindergarten parking lot!
AFTERWORD: KEEP IT FUN, KEEP IT ROLLING
---------------------------------------
CB smack talk is an art, a tradition, and a fine way to pass the time. In a
heated exchange or while merely dropping laughs over the airwaves, keep it
light, clever, and unserious. Now get back on the road and keep those
one-liners coming. 10-4, good buddy!
