Hal: Behind my farm used to be a maze of private logging roads. These could get you from one community to the next without going on public roads, thus they were used a bit by folks getting to a destination after being out tipping the bottle. One such trio landed in my door yard, on foot, late one Saturday night. Their pickup was 2 miles behind my place, out of gas. They wanted some gas, and had a designated driver, drinking but not much. I told them all I had was a barrel of gas with no pump in it, thus we would have to syphon. The owner of the truck, not the designated driver, decided since he was the one that started the evening without buying gas, he should be responcible for sucking on the hose. Looking back, we shouldn't have let him do the sucking. I don't know how much gas he consumed, however his buddies told me that 3 hours later at a hunting camp, every time he belched, all you could smell was gasoline.

When they came to the door, only the designated driver was able to get on my deck, one foot above ground level. Seeing the condition of his two buddies, I decided to drive them back to their truck. I figured the designated driver would have load enough with 5 gals. of gas, let alone keeping his companions mobile. These guys were on their way from a tractor pull and going to the hunting camp.
