It was 11 Earl. Look it up. I sincerly hope you were not trying to be humorous with the original post and referring to the convoy currently in Ottawa. It was not amusing and I will forgo further participation in your threads.
Actually, I had looked it up. For some reason, I thought of it as being twelve. But here's the thing, I looked it up in
Wikipedia and they said, "A public funeral is held for Rubber Duck, in which Haskins promises to work for the truckers by taking their case to
Washington, D.C. Disgusted with the politics of the situation, Pig Pen abruptly leaves the funeral. A distraught Melissa is led to a school bus with
several "long-haired friends of Jesus" inside. There she finds Rubber Duck in disguise sitting in the back. He asks, "You ever seen a duck that couldn't swim?"
So I wondered where the number 12 or 11 came from. Then, I remembered that I had looked up the lyrics to the song too.
"An' eleven long-haired Friends a' Jesus
In a chartreuse micra-bus" so only thing I can thing of is that I got the number mixed up with the 12 Apostles because of the reference to Jesus. Now, yeah, I
was trying to be humorous with the reference to Convoy
. The Ottawa convoy reminded me of the movie. And this
is a rememberance thread. I actually support the truckers cause. I don't believe in government mandates. So if you want to stop participating in the thread, sorry to see you go. Didn't know someone was holding a gun to your head.
