For those of you who know me and wonder why I am like I am, I just wanted to let ya'll know, I get it honest. My older brother's wife posted this today on our family blog. Bill is hard to get anything on usually so this was really funny to us. My whole family is like this!!

From Darlene:
It has been awhile since I last blogged, so thought I'd do one today since I have a humorous story to tell on my better half. I don't get something on him very often, you know.
We went to Shelbyville today to take the de-humidifier over to BLV because it is soooo humid and when the weather is like this, the air conditioner sweats and drips onto the floor. Anyway, my better half was driving, as usual, and when he pulled around to the back of the building, we were right smack dab in the middle of a huge mud puddle and the car came to a complete stop. Oh great, I thought. Gonna have to wade the water to get out of this car. He kept trying to get the thing to move so he could get out of the mud, but it would NOT budge. He tried in forward and reverse, but no luck. He was thinking....well, guess the transmission went out. But, then, he realized he was pushing the brake instead of the gas pedal ! LOL !! We laughed and laughed !!
I know this has probably happened to lots of people lots of times, but for it to happen to Bill, well, it's just really unusual to get him on ANYthing !!

The only other thing we ever really got on Bill was when was still working driving a van of workers to and from work. One snowy evening they got stuck in a snowdrift about a mile north of town. The guys hauled out of the van and were trying to push him out backwards. He had the van in forward!!! Glad it didn't move. They never let him live that down!!!
