Rule 26 To Remain a Happy Signing Agent

26. Do not drink two cups of coffee and one diet Dr Pepper immediately before leaving for a signing reached by 32 miles of farm road without a service station in sight.

Rule 26(a) To Remain a Happy Signing Agent: Especially do not do this with a set of 76-year-old kidneys.

Don't they call Rule 26 (a) an Amendment to the previous statement?

Oh yes guys can have a problem. A college classmate (yes it was 40 years ago) stoped on a side road an night for relief, but in the darkness his relief stream hit a farmer's electric fence.

No further comments, though at the time there were many.

When I was a reporter on the San Antonio Express-News 50 years ago, we had a story about a fellow who was taking care of business in a patch of roadside weeds. A black widow spider bit him on his johnson.

The staff cartoonist had great fun doing a cartoon of him in a tourniquet. Of course, it never saw print.

There was an incident in Chicagoland some years ago.

The subway/elevated tracks are at street level in some areas.
A non-English reading man had too much to drink.
He walked thru an open fence, by a "danger --electric" sign and relieved himself on the third rail. It was his final act on earth.
His family sued and received a very large settlement.

Sorry Bob, that's an Urban legend.

Debunked by the Mythbusters.
I won't go into detail, but there is no "steady" stream to connect the 3rd rail to the man.

Actually, no it hasn't it

If you read the stories, the guys died after accidental contact with the third rail - as in falling on it, stepping on it, or tripping over it while in the process of relieving themselves.

As bagger said, it's an urban legend.

There are these great inventions called Depends....and Poise - excellent for 76 year old kidneys and any kidneys going hiking, camping, long road trip, *working in the field*. They don't replace going potty but make excellent back-ups when kidneys cannot make it to a restroom <in time>.

At a recent Rolling Stones concert, some long time, female

fans threw their underwear on to the stage as they did during the band's early days.
Only problem was, they were now throwing Depends.

I have the habit of drinking water, soda, etc. en route to closing. I should learn by now it's not worth it. Always in need of a restroom. I have had to stop many times before reaching the closing appt. It's difficult because I'm rural here. Not too many places to stop.
