Tonight, coming to you live from the beautiful Hampton Inn Orangeberg, it's the Late Show! Featuring the three-year old still awake! The "bucking bronco" truck! Astonished stares from South Carolina drivers! Musical guest tonight the truckstop country music DJ! ...And Sirius channel 33! ...And now, heeeeerre's COACH!
Thank you, thank you all. Thank you, you're too kind. Settle down. Wow. Thank you.
How about that drive in, huh? You know, trailer towing really is an art form, and we've got some real Picassos down here in the South. The guy who drove off from the truck stop without paying for his gas was a real master, you know? Yeah. Big Ford truck with a beat-up motorcycle in the bed towing a utility trailer emblazoned with NASCAR stuff on the side? Up where I come from, that's an easy guy to find on the road. Down here, that could be Osama Bin Laden. Great disguise. (Laughter) I mean, that's every other vehicle on the road down here.
Ok, so I overestimated a little on how long it would take to get down here. By just a couple hours. Really, it wasn't that bad, Emily and Will were racked out in the back of the truck, so they didn't complain that much. Yeah, my wife didn't complain that much. (light laughter) No problem at all. Not once did she ever say "I told you so." Sure. And if you believe that, I've got a great deal on some land in Iraq. (Laughter) Great vacation home, excellent views, private security, the whole bit.
Well, we've got a great time coming up. Spring break! (Cheers.) Time on the water, sunburn and coxswains running into each other. I just can't wait. I'm told the beach down here is supposed to be great. I'm a little iffy on the directions, though. Like most directions here in South Carolina, they include "past the Wall-Mart, through town, take a left at the 'live bait' sign, go straight until the road ends, then keep going." (Laughter.) The guy I need to call if I get lost if somebody named "Bo." (Laughter) Yeah, 'Git 'er done.' (Cheers). I somehow doubt there is an espresso machine within forty miles of where we are.

And the guest that had to, unexpectedly, leave...SANITY!
I'd still rather be down there on the water.
Look at it this way, Jay, you're getting some valuable "cross-cultural" experience in the mainly "red" parts of the United States; i.e. the rest of the U.S. besides the Northeast and the Left Coast.
