Bench Seat

You don’t see very many pickup trucks these days with bench seats.

The popularity of captains chairs and split consoles for all your electronic gear did away with the bench seat and with that that ability to sit close to your sweetie.

Remember those days - those of you who can remember and those of you who rode in a truck with a bench seat?

Of course with three guys riding in a truck with a bench seat the one next to the passenger door would usually, at some point, bend down and hide to make it look like the other two guys were siting real close.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

A late model truck in oncoming traffic passed me by the other day.  

He was driving and she was sitting right next to him.

It made me smile.

And since I’ve been a preacher for way too long, it made me think of that preacher joke about the husband and wife sitting next to each other in the truck.

    It’s not just the pickups, it’s been years since I’ve seen any automobile that allows a couple to sit together.
