It's dangerous, really.

I remember hearing how my dad used to hitch up to Pennsylvania from Ft. Bragg, North Carolina to visit my mom when they were dating while he was in the Army. When I was older he told me that the last time he hitched the guy who picked him up tried to, um, feel out his, um, package (ok, it's hard for me to even think about my dad's package much less type about it so give me a few minutes....ok, I'm fine now) My dad was in the 82nd Airborne so he definitely was able to take care of himself but he still steered clear from hitching after that!

On a related subject, I've had a short story idea bouncing around in my head for years about a serial killer who picks up another serial killer while hitching. Really, the comic possibilities are endless. But I have yet to sit down and put pen to paper.
