You guys do know the Fireball references are meant to be a joke right?

Posted by WIbigdog@reddit | Truckers | View on Reddit | 90 comments

Moved on from trucking and now I work for my county highway department. It's springtime so we're picking up trash on the sides of the interstate. On a single offramp I picked up no fewer than 15 bottles of Fireball and a few Tito's. You're not actually supposed to be getting lit on Fireballs while you drive. Just making sure we're all on the same page on this.

LyubviMashina93@reddit

What are the charges? Enjoying a whiskey? A succulent cinnamon whiskey?

[-]

disturbedrailroader@reddit

Get your hands off my whiskey!!! This is the DOT official who got my whiskey, people!

HashnaFennec@reddit

Cinnamon whisky should be a crime in itself! We all know the best flavored whisky is peanut butter whisky! /s

[-]

GenX_Leo@reddit

Aftershock was my drink back in my 20s

[-]

Environmental-Pear40@reddit

It's not actually whiskey. It's whiskey flavored malt liquor. Well the shit you can buy in the truck stops is anyway.

[-]

BTeamTN@reddit

Says every parent ever who is SUPER MAD and also every single person about to force you into rehab.

The line of lines.

[-]

Fuzzy1598@reddit

Well damn dad. I would rather you be mad. Disappointed hits harder. Lol

[-]

GenX_Leo@reddit

My guess it that it was a place to do a 10 and they wanted to relax after a day of lets dodge the idiots on the road. I mean thats what I do. But im sure there are some wake and drank idiots out there...

[-]

ExpedientDemise@reddit

It's okay. I put the truck on cruise control while I'm drinking. I can hardly wait for those self driving trucks so I can drink all the time.

[-]

justdan76@reddit

Bro, lots of things on this sub that should be a joke, aren’t

[-]

silva579@reddit

For anyone who wasn’t here or forgot, the whole fireball thing started from a gentleman saying it’s really no big deal while asking for “rapid urgent advice” cause he crashed his truck in a drunken blackout, but it wasn’t his fault.

[-]

beavr_@reddit

Some guys can drink and drive, some guys can’t… what is drunk?

[-]

BTeamTN@reddit

Way of the road, bubs.

[-]

Mountainear99@reddit

Arguably the best post of this subreddit. Reminding us all on what not to do

[-]

Dual-use@reddit

This place had some great posts over the years. Remember the citation someone posted for "failure to maintain lane while attempting to eat a rotisserie chicken"?

[-]

Living-Worry-3190@reddit

Damn, I just glove up and stuff my fist in the bird, drive with one and gnaw on my stump.. Obviously I drive and automatix

[-]

HashnaFennec@reddit

I’d LOVE to read that post

[-]

Syllables_17@reddit

Pretty sure the fireball jokes started long long before that.

[-]

silva579@reddit

Nobody was joking about fireball before that guys post was removed.

[-]

Syllables_17@reddit

I don't even remember when that happened.

But fireball and truckers has been a joke for at least 20 years. I remember paps joking about it and getting him some for his 70th.

[-]

silva579@reddit

There’s a bunch of substances associated with truckers going back decades, but fireball has never been one of em. It’s just a Reddit thing like 3rd day jokes.

[-]

Azzacura@reddit

Reddit wasn't that popular 20 years ago but I also vividly remember it already being one of the many things joked about when I was little

[-]

Syllables_17@reddit

Yeah this dude doesn't know what he's talking about. Airplane bottles of fireball have been sold at truck stops and trashed on the grass at em for as long as I remember.

[-]

silva579@reddit

Along with just about every other kind of liquor. Feel free to show some examples to back up all these memories though.

[-]

itsmysecondaryblog@reddit

I would’ve thought that Fireball jokes started exactly when the first two people ever drank Fireball.

[-]

WIbigdog@reddit (OP)

It may have been a general joke before but as far as the memes on this subreddit go this the post that made it popular here: https://imgur.com/a/6Oem1xQ

Bookmarked, thank you. It's beautiful

[-]

Leelze@reddit

Sounds like Fireball crashed his truck.

[-]

West_Masterpiece9423@reddit

Exactly tbh

[-]

Snookfilet@reddit

Somebody shit my pants

[-]

Leelze@reddit

I know exactly who it was. It was that god damned Taco Bell dog!

[-]

Snookfilet@reddit

Yo quiero kill that motherfucker

[-]

Twisty12223@reddit

It was a doppelganger that crashed the truck, not him!

[-]

mike-2129@reddit

Damn. Im surprised these drivers are drinking that nasty shit. You guys cant do a little better.

emdefmek@reddit

I never liked the fireball jokes. I prefer vodka. It’s keto friendly!

[-]

MoosiePie22@reddit

But the warm cinnamon running through my veins as I barrel through traffic makes me feel like I’m at home on Christmas morning 🥹🥹🥂🥂

[-]

Chocolateapologycake@reddit

It’s not mine it’s my friends!

[-]

scottiethegoonie@reddit

REAL TALK: Drinking is still a problem for some drivers. I used to be an alcoholic and quit when I started driving (thank God). I was a functional alcoholic in my last job bc the industry I was in encouraged it.

[-]

Captain_Wag@reddit

Until they legalize weed for truckers this is reality. People like to unwind.

[-]

Environmental-Pear40@reddit

What? Wait, that's supposed to be a joke?? Or is the joke that people actually deal with this shit sober. I mean, I'm no doctor but I don't think it's healthy to raw dog life lill bro. In general much less in a high stress job. You'll probably get cancer.

Prisoner trash duty isn’t “working for the highway dept”

[-]

WIbigdog@reddit (OP)

😂 I don't think they let prisoners work along the interstate around these parts.

[-]

ONE-EYE-OPTIC@reddit

All you're telling me is you've never been in custody

[-]

Guilty as charged 🤓

hera_the_destroyer@reddit

Tell that to the prisoners who upfit Ohio Department of Transportations plow trucks.

[-]

WIbigdog@reddit (OP)

Do they really? We gotta attach and tear all that shit off ourselves.

[-]

hera_the_destroyer@reddit

Yup. They get the cab on chassis. They install the dump bed, run the wiring, weld up random shit to make it work.

[-]

duhrun@reddit

Don’t listen to this guy fake news, fireball it up.

[-]

TaxAvoision@reddit

Well, I still enjoyed bringing fireball shots to the movies with my wife.

[-]

heebro@reddit

fireball is sold at a lot of gas stations, even though it is a flavored whiskey. the company abuses a loophole by claiming the product is a malt based beverage.

[-]

Diesel is too expensive and tastes terrible!

Just be careful with the piss bottles

[-]

WIbigdog@reddit (OP)

The grabber ain't long enough. I found a whole story though. Bag of shit, empty package of baby wipes and soiled underpants all within a couple feet of each other. Mans was NOT having a good day.
