Well when you make it here, know you've got a place to stay. My couch is always open to you.

A hitchhiker story-I got one for you.

I was riding to the east side of Madison, from Sun Prairie, and hadn't yet left town when I saw a man standing on the side of the on ramp to 151.

I wouldn't normally pick up a hitchhiker, but-he was carrying a large military duffel bag. My roommate is in the military, and I thought, why not-if he's a soldier or in the military, he must be all right. So I proceeded to pick him up.

He put the duffel bag(sack) in the back seat, and I asked him how far he was going, he assured me, as far as I could take him into Madison.

I tried to start off a conversation with him, and my first thought was that bag. So I asked him, what's in the bag? To which he so kindly responded 'None of your fucking business!'.

I couldn't believe it, here I was picking this guy up, doing him a favor, and he says that to me. So I apologize-though I don't think I'm wrong by asking him that question, and try to steer the conversation a bit. I asked him if he was in the military(because of the bag, I thought), but he wasn't. This really peaked my curiousity about his bag-so I decided to ask him again-"If you're not in th military, what do you have in that bag?", and again, this prick says the same thing "None of your fucking business!"

I stopped talking at that point, and I want this guy out of the car. I pulled over to the nearest gas station, and tell him I have to get gas. He says thats fine, he has to use the bathroom anyway. Before he left the car though, I felt compelled to apologize again about offending him, so I told him "Look, I wasn't trying to be nosey, I was just curious about the bag is all", and he says to me "Well, it's none of your fucking business", and he walks to the bathroom inside.

I said fuck it, I'm ditching this asshole while he's inside. It wasn't until later though, I noticed that I had left with his bag still in my back seat...
