One time I was in the Florida pan handle and I'm not sure why but I was in piss poor mood. Anyways, I shut down at the TA truck stop there and went inside to the restaurant and grabbed a spot at the counter.
The waitress was new but you could tell that she was trying her best and that's all I ever ask, so I relaxed a bit and started up a good conversation with the driver next to me.
Now, at the end of the counter sat this big 'ol boy and he couldn't leave that poor girl alone and I saw in her eyes that she was about to break.
I turned to him and said "Do you know what big men and beautiful women have in common? They haven't heard nearly enough that nobody gives a shit what they think." I'm sure that I picked it up in a movie or somewhere - but it fit and the counter erupted with laughter!
I thought there would be no way out of getting my ass beat that day but he quieted down, payed his bill and left.
Believe it or not - but that's exactly how it happened!
