   Early in my truck driving I had a stop in Fanshawe, OK. One day I had finished the delivery and had noticed a very friendly chihuahua running around and said something about her getting run over being right next to the highway. “Oh, she’s not ours!” No collar—no id. Picked her up and brought her home for keeps.

   Potato, Bot-ato

   Caller: “Hi. Can I speak to the manager, please?”

   Me: “He’s busy right now, but can I take a message?”

   Caller: “I wanted to talk to you about accounting services.”

   Me: “Well, if you leave your name and number, I can take a message.”

   Caller: “Our accounting services are guaranteed to make you savings! If you could call us back at [number], you won’t regret it!”

   Me: Suspecting something “What’s your name?”

   Caller: “So, that’s [number]. I can repeat it again.”

   Me: “Say the word ‘potato’.”

   Caller: “So, that’s [number]. I can repeat it again.”

   Me: “Say the word ‘potato’, please.”

   Caller: “So, that’s [number]. I can repeat it again.”

   Me: “Bye, bot.”

   I hung up and suddenly got a hankering for some French fries.

   Just Remember To Get The Passenger And Her Passenger There Safely!

   My husband and I were driving on an empty road in the middle of nowhere in Illinois, and I was very pregnant and very hungry.

   I saw a sign for [Italian-American Chain Restaurant] from the highway and started shouting at my husband to take the exit; otherwise, I was “just gonna DIE.” The poor man swung the car off the highway, crossed four lanes, and sped along the off-ramp.

   And then we saw the lights behind us.

   Police Officer: “Sir, do you know what speed you were going?”

   Husband: “I have no idea, officer. I apologize.”

   Police Officer: “Do you know you didn’t use a turn signal to cross four lanes on the highway?”

   Husband: “Honestly, officer, I was so focused on taking this exit that I didn’t even think about my signal.”

   The officer looked at us with confusion.

   Police Officer: “I know this place like the back of my hand, and I can tell you that there is nothing on this exit that is so exciting that you needed to act as recklessly as you did. What in the world is going on?!”

   My poor husband looked down at his hands.

   Husband: “Well, my wife is eight and half months pregnant and saw the [Chain Restaurant]…”

   The officer looked at me for the first time and just started laughing. He had to hold onto our car door because he was laughing so hard. He finally pulled himself together.

   Police Officer: “My man. My wife has been pregnant four times, and I would have crossed a twelve-lane highway for her at top speed if she had demanded it, every time. You take your wife to get food, but please take her somewhere better than [Chain Restaurant].”

   With that, he waved us on and walked back to his car, still chuckling.

   We still went to [Chain Restaurant], and I still remember how good those breadsticks tasted.

   Lee Marvin drank real alcohol throughout the production, even though director Joshua Logan fought him about it. In most movies, the actors and actresses drink tea for whiskey and water for vodka. Marvin would only work if he got real liquor.

   On its release to what were then called “neighborhood theatres” (i.e. theatres which showed films that had ended their first runs downtown), the film’s running time was shortened by having three songs eliminated, “I Still See Elisa”, “The First Thing You Know”, and “Gold Fever”. This left both Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood with only one solo song each. The film was restored to its original length for its first television showing, and has remained that way ever since.
