The Best Reason To Sleep In A Hotel Instead Of An RV: COTD

RV ownership isn’t for everyone. Imagine having to repair a car and an extremely poorly-built house at the same time. Well, with exceptions, that’s what RV ownership is like. Oh yeah, you also have to dump your waste somewhere from time to time.

I wrote about the ginormous 30-foot and 9,000-pound camper perched on top of a Ford F-550. Most of you roasted it, which brought a smile to my face. One reader mentioned a $100 hotel room as an alternative to an RV. Max Headbolts:

And you don’t have to look for a tank of diesel to dump your poo every few days.

StillNotATony also got me with this line:

Buy this rig and never see a traffic light again!

Mark gave us a hilarious four-vehicle Shitbox Showdown under the premise of “your neighbor has offered to lend you one of his seventeen cars. These four are the only ones that run, though, so you’ll have to choose from them.” Lincoln Clown CaR:

You guys realize not everyone lives like this, right?

The Bishop wrote about how Ford trucks used to have an option for an under-hood chainsaw. Sid Bridge:

Chrysler… The ONLY chainsaw for rich, Corinthian Leatherface.

Spikedlemon:

Corinthian Leatherface’s sad backstory: a 4XE chainsaw sadly catching fire and burning him, leaving him bitter with the world, and resentful to the world but so unflinchingly loyal to Stellantis-branded products that he needs to excise 7 slots in the front end of anyone to get too close to him.

Finally, I wrote about how I will be joining Operation Frodo to help rescue abandoned beagles. I love how everyone has a great pet story. Hoser68:

The short answer to “what’s wrong” is normally meth where I live.

However, the key is to know the good stories outweigh the bad. By a wide margin. For example:

Some old woman (?) had a dog. She wasn’t taking care of it, but with dementia, this can be excused. The dog got horrible skin problems.
The heir got the dog. He went to put it down because it was mean. It wasn’t mean, just hurt, scared and ugly.
So far, 1 asshat, 1 unknown. Easy to get a bad opinion on humanity there. However, the story does end. The vet refused to put down the dog, A vet tech took in the dog to take care of it and found my wife was willing to foster it.

So when the dog came to us, there were already 2 great people involved.

Then for adoption, a family contacted us specifically because they wanted a small child friendly small, old dog to give them the best end of life possible. They knew that this older dog wouldn’t be around long, but having a loving family for him was something important to them. We had discovered this old dog liked children and gave it a shot. So, here’s family of 2 wonderful parents and 3 wonderful kids giving an old guy a shot.

So, now it’s 7 wonderful people, offset the actions of 1 asshat.

But the story doesn’t end there. We don’t know this dog’s real history. As he recovered from the infection and was in a home with children, he blossomed. BIG time. 5 years later, and we get videos of the “old guy” absolutely sprinting around the back yard chasing bubbles with the girls. We get pictures of him snuggled under the blankets with their youngest. He’s a handsome little terrier and it’s hard to believe he’s 5, nevertheless 5+ whatever age he was when the owner tried to put him down. He seems to be aging in reverse.

That horrible person that wanted to put down a dog that just needed medication, good food and some love is more than outweighed by the rest of the story. That makes working in animal rescue worth it.

And this is one of dozens of stories about good overcoming evil that I can share.

Have a great evening, everyone!
