A very funny High School memory

[Fragglemuppet]

Oh no Snowth!


While we're sharing anecdotes, please allow me to share one from my first college that I'm still sort of half-laughing, half-blushing at.

It was a theology class, and we were taking a trip down to Manhattan for a tour of several of the churches there. At lunchtime we separated, (which turned out to be a mistake, but that's another story), and the professor and I decided to get pizza, and sit on a bench outside the pizzaria to eat it. So we bought a slice each, and a drink. Somehow while we were eating, I spilled half my bottle of rootbeer over me and my pizza, (not much got on it so it was still etable, just a little sweet), and my cane which was folded next to me, but even worse on my professor, and on a stack of papers that he was carying!

I told my mom afterwards and she said jokingly, "There goes your A in the class!"

Oh dear Kate.

And Snowth like I said I'm very, very glad nobody laughed at you.

One time I was trying to put one of those stretchy book covers on my biiiiiiiig textbook. My textbook didnt like it too much and hit me in the nose. Of course someone saw me jump back in my seat and saw what happened and started laughing. It was funny, but hurt really bad. I have a very sensitive nose. I did finally get the darn thing on though

I have also walked into various doors in school, I almost walked into a wall once. I also trip over my feet all the time. My mom says I get it from my dads side of the family. he cant walk without hurting himself either

We never got those. One year, we DID get the kind of paper they make those brown paper bags out of, but it was optional.

That is unfortunate Sarge

I will continue to pray for you and your dad as well. While I cannot guarantee you a completely accident free life of course I pray God keeps you safe from really serious injury.

Oh yeah, and on the same trip earlier that day, we were riding the subway. There was standing room only, and I was holding on to one of those poles. Eventually someone got up, and I took their seat. Appearently my feet were really tired from walking all that way and then standing, and between that and the movement of the subway I was a bit off-balance. When we reached our stop and I got up, I nearly fell on top of the person sitting next to me! Even if I didn't go all the way, I did do a pretty good job of it, and someone from my group had to pull me back before I fell over completely! So yeah, that trip went smoothly...
Although the tour itself was fun.

BOMBS AWAY if you know what I mean

No, I meant I pooped my pants on my way to one of my classes.

Your posts have actually reminded me of when I was about 10 or so and I finally realized that public transport vehicles have proper sewage facilities.
Mum set me straight when we were talking about them and I said I suppose when you go to the toilet while travelling around Australia on a couch it must fall through a hole in the bottom and onto the road.
When she said "Oh no Martin. It's stored in a waste storage area that is eventually cleaned out and disposed of sanitally."
I was really amazed and said "I always just assumed it ended up on the road. If you went to the toilet on a train it fell through the hole onto the tracks. In a plane..."
At which point she cut me off and said, "Oh that would be nice in a plane." Then she cried in her deepest voice "BOMBS AWAAAAAYYYY!"

So when is somebody going to reply to my last post in here?

When she said "Oh no Martin. It's stored in a waste storage area that is eventually cleaned out and disposed of sanitally."

And incidentally I'm not sure now if there really is such a word as sanitally.
But I'm sure you all understand what I meant.

Maybe she meant to say sanitationally? THAT'S a word, right?
