You beat me to it! Now the question is why you pinged me. ;)

One sleepy morning, I put both contacts in the same eye:( While looking for the one for the other eye, the eye with the contacts in was really smarting, I thought it would pass. I kept looking for the other one, and finally had to pop out the one I had in, when I could still see good out of that eye, is when I realized I'd already put both in.

Ouch!

And then......?

You beat me to it! Now the question is why you pinged me. ;)

Hell, I dunno. I thought you liked getting pung!

[Xenalyte]

Oh, I love it! I was just curious what about me rated a she-man ping. :)

[Dashing Dasher]

That's hilarious!

The power of old people - indeed! I wonder what she had in that purse! LOL!~!!!

When I had to start using reading glasses, I thought about the possibility of contacts. But sticking anything into my eye is just something I'm not emotionally equipped to handle. (Along with about 3,534 other things).

[conservativebabe]

Ooooh! At least you can get them in. I have only been wearing contact for about 2 years, and only put them in when I am going somewhere out for the evening, which is rarely. It still takes me 20 min to do it!

[conservativebabe]

What a jerk that guy was! Did you see her jump when he hit the horn the first time?! LOL! Bless her heart.

Another GBB driving hay in Florida story--

Another place with a hay contract was Busch Gardens. The first time down there, he discovered that the hay barn was way in the back down a twisty little road.

He was flagged in, then for a bit, pretty much on his own getting to and backing up to the barn.

Now, no one I know can back cleaner, quicker and safer than him. He was extremely cautious backing up to the 'barn' (A big metal pre-fab building). About the time he was stopping, an 'zoo keeper' in shorts came running up, waving his arms, yelling for him to stop!

Seems GBB had hit the building. I mean, so badly he had rippled about 20' of one side.

GBB was mortified! It was really close getting into the barn area, but he was sure he had cleared the side!

ANYHOW, he filled out an incident report, the folks at Busch were pretty nice about it (They were glad to have the hay!). And GBB drives home, upset that he's going to have to report he screwed up a clients building.

OK, he's almost home and he gets a call from my mother. The first words out her mouth were "Your boss just called and said 'The elephant did it'--- 'What does that mean?' ".

GBB then calls his boss, but he's laughing to hard to make much sense...so GBB calls Busch. Well now, it seems that one of the bull elephants had gotten out, taken a stroll and then gotten an itch. And decided to scratch it on the side of the hay barn.
>:>

Just no one seemed to noticed that a big ole itchy Bull Elephant was roaming loose, pillaging hay barns.

So, when GBB pulls up at his bosses barn, they're all outside laughing there butts off--- all they keep saying is "The elephant did it!"

Which became an inside joke anytime something really big happened, fell down, apart, broke, disappeared or was ran over.

The elephant did it.

It's a little frightening how many blonde moments I'm recalling as I sit here and read these posts. Keep in mind that I've had 35 years of accumulations. Here's a good one from my teenage years.

I was on the drill team and one Friday the away game was a fairly lengthy drive, so the school actually chartered a bus for us. On the way back I really needed to go to the bathroom, so I headed to the back of the bus. This was my first bus/bathroom experience. I didn't know about the turning latch lock thing that also turned on the lights. Well, I went into the bathroom and was immediately overwhelmed by the stinch. Also, I shut the door (didn't turn any latch) and I was in complete darkness. So, I opened the door and yelled out to my fellow drill team members,"How do you turn the lights on?" They yelled back, "Shut the door and lock it!" I thought they were yelling this because the smell was so bad. So, I yell again, "I know! But how do you turn on the lights?" I received the same reply. We did this exchange a few times and I finally gave up and shut the door, but I didn't lock it. So, I'm standing there in the dark trying to find a light switch by feeling the wall and I come across a button. I proceed to push it frantically hoping the small, smelly room will light up so I can take care of business and get out of there. Nothing happens. Finally, I decided to play with the door handle again. This time I discover the latch and lock the door. BINGO! On comes the light. As I'm about to take care of things, people begin banging on the door. Annoyed at the impatience of whoever is waiting for the restroom. I ignore them, finish up and wash my hands. Then I step out only to have the entire bus begin to laugh at me. Apparently the button I had been so frantically pushing in hopes of turning on the light had been the one that alerts the bus driver to an emergency in the bathroom. The bus driver had turned on the cabin lights and come over the speaker to announce that someone was having trouble in the restroom. That is why they were banging on the wall.
In my defense, I'm not nearly as blonde as I used to be. This was almost twenty years ago. Hadn't thought of it in awhile, but it is a good one.

So, the elephant really DID do it? Man, that's cold! Poor GBB! He must have a good sense of humor.

[ShadowDancer]

is when I came home from church one Sunday and had left my bible on top of the car (like who hasn't done this).

I hate when that happens to me.

[Dashing Dasher]

He definitely deserved it.....

[najida]

LOL!

The elephant did it, really ;)

It's still a family joke.

[BossLady]

That night we went to a late dinner and talked. We actually ended up seeing one another for a couple months...HAHAHAH! Then he went on tour. He had a gorgeous purple flamed Harley ;)

Any other info should be Freepmailed :o

[Chanticleer]

Would that have been a Freudian slip?

[retrokitten]

OMG! I'm laughing so hard I can't breathe!

[Dashing Dasher]

Okay!
