Hi Earle,
Remember you have to work at least ten years to be eligible for
Social Security retirement benefits, even though you probably paid in
more than I.

Hi Earle,
They are bankrupt, but it'll take twenty years before these stupid
bleed heart liberal wackos realize it. Meanwhile I'll be dead. Anyway,
get on someone's payroll even if you have to pay the withholding and get
your quarters in.

If you get in an accident and someone gets hurt.
only then, is when it really counts. You may get charged.
I've seen hitches like yours and it was bent all to hell.
Don't be stupid/cheap, pay the 150 fricken dollars for a proper hitch
and be safe! This is NOT Microsoft where failures are sorta O.K.
Dag nab it.
