Sorry but I'm not interested in dating the third shift at Waffle HouseWe have a bad joke here in the Southern U.S "Q- What has eight (breasts*) and four teeth? A- Third Shift at Waffle House" that sums it up nicely
*obviously the clean version

I know I am riding to much (well you can realy NEVER ride toooo much 
) when I jump out of bed, out of breath and trying to grab the tree branch to keep from going over a cliff. My wife always gets a kick out of that (some times literally 
)

Thats great UGAd13, lol! But Alou has been hitting .301 during his 14-yr career, so if he pees on his hands, then keep it up.

Well, I'm not sharing any stories about pee, but I know I've been riding too much when I turn my foot to "unclip" stepping out of the shower...

See, the joke was that whenever I lift a leg to step out of something I involuntarily twist to release my foot.... Yeesh - tough crowd.

Sorry man. I had an extra glass of whiskey tonight. It's mid-summer day in Sweden
EDIT: Might have been two. Surely not more than three. I'm glad we left the pee stories behind. They were most un-nerving to me. Thanks Jalexei.

You know your riding to much when you're talking to your girlfriend while driving down a road, and everything 3 seconds you say... "Whoa... I could jump that".

I know I'm riding too much when I look at the roots in the yard and think, "Pfft! I could take you, punk, you ain't nothin'!" Hmm, might have said that out loud, actually....
