I used to - For two years I attended night school in another city, an hour's drive in each direction, and always took a hitchhiker if I could because it's good for my teeth.

I just love saying that. Explanation for those who absolutely MUST have one.Since night school tends to be at night, I need some way to stay awake during the drive. Talking to and getting to know a random person is the best way; if I don't have a hitchhiker, I'll be eating sugar sticks to stay awake instead. Which are bad for one's teeth.

Now that night school is over I don't take hitchhikers as often, and unfortunately even when I do I don't often have the opportunity to subject them to an hour's worth of the same tune over and over again because it's for shorter distances. But every so often I have to make a long trip, and it's totally worth it.
