I’m back…
Well folks, the holidays came and went, and I came and went. I’m back in Florida now, so if you missed me when I was in Maryland, sorry about that! I had a great time seeing family and friends, and spending time with Leila, but I guess I do have a job for some reason, and I should probably get back to it!
Interesting story… I was at Matt’s wedding this weekend and, in a pleasant turn of events John Boggs, my roomate, showed up at the wedding with Andy, Lauren, and Carissa (my STINT teammates from last year in North Africa). But when I returned last night he told me a funny story that happened to him during Matt’s wedding reception. I will retell it here, and if it isn’t funny enough for you, then go to him and ask him to tell it! You’re sure to get a laugh.
So, to start, Boggsy was sick. He had a sore throat and hadn’t been feeling well for the last few days. Also, he had just been in the car all day and stuck in bad traffic most of it, as they were tryig to make it to the wedding (in Virginia Beach) on time from Pennsylvania.
So you can imagine that John is a little bit out of it as he walks over to the drink table to refill his cup of punch. After filling it up to the top, a nice old lady, presumably one of Matt or Beca’s (the groom and bride) grandparents, walks up to him and says something like “How kind of you young man!” and with a smile proceeds to take his cup from his hand and walk away with it as if he had filled it for her!
Before he has a chance to think and realize what happened, she has slipped into the large crowd at the reception and he has lost her and his cup (which he had been drinking from already and leaving his sick germs in as well) After he overcomes the shock of this sweet old lady stealing his cup and realizing he had just let her walk away with it and all of his sick germs, he fills a new cup for himself and sits back down at his table.
I told him he better pray that his germs don’t end that old lady’s life! (In fact they had already killed one living being that day, a dog in the middle of Interstate 64 that was pulverized by their front bumper, but that’s another story!)
