Today, on Saturday, I went out to letter this dude's Kenworth. I got it all layed out and ready to go (paintmask). About this time I have to pee. I don't like using people's restrooms, so I always make up the excuse of "I'm going to Starbucks to get a mocha". Well, his neighbor hears and says' Oh, you're going to Starbucks? Here, I'll buy and you can bring me a mocha too. Then he yells to his wife, "Hey,she's going to Starbucks, do you want something?" Ya da ya da Ya Da, he hands me a twenty, and off I go to Starbucks. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Happy Birthday Girl.
And get yourself a mocha on me. Posted by Jill Marie Welsh (Member # 1912) on :
Yup, Alicia, it is the bane of every sign chick's existance...to whiz hovered over the seat in a nasty (possibly with a peephole cut) men's room, to hold it till your back teeth are floating, or to find a graceful way out. You managed a neat excuse! Good thing you didn't say you needed a DQ, it would have been hard to carry back a take-out from there. I hope you have a wonderful birthday, too. Love.....Jill

Happy Birthday Alicia...looking forward to meeting you in Lodi for sure.
Good thing they didn't offer to get the coffee for you... ...you'd have had to find something else to "go-fer".

Happy Birthday Alicia,
Hope you bought yourself an extra large mocha while out!
Have a good one!

So did they suspect anything when you returned without a mocha for yourself? Posted by Barb. Shortreed (Member # 1730) on :

Happy Birthday!!

The woman who originally designed the Mudflap girl was Flo Mills AKA Annie Green Springs. She was a truck letterer from the Whittier Ca area. Back in the day she striped a car that Clark Cable had brought for Carol Lumbard.

HB Alicia; hope it was good for you...
Another signature of Flo was the hindlegs of a lady, kicking, painted to look as if she was lodged in window of sleeper and ballon announced, "Help"...I'm sure some of you have seen this on trucks across this country...
