In honor of the US Jaycees convention this weekend, I thought I would share with you some of the wackiest stories from through out the years that Fay and I have been involved with. First up we were attending a convention in Sioux Falls, SD. WTF? Do they pick the most obscure, hardest places to get to? Why not NYC, Miami, someplace where there is stuff to do? No, that would be too expensive, but definitely more fun. One night, we were sitting in the lobby with our friend Scott and a few others when a random person, that we only knew by sight, from one of the western states came up and sat down and started participating in our private conversation. If that was not weird enough, he bent down, rubbed Scott's leg and said "You have such smooth legs." Who does that? I am sure the No Touching Rule was definitely made for situations like these. Fay and I were hysterical on the floor and drinks flew out our noses!
Next up was New Orleans for Met Net in 2005. We went out to Bourbon Street the first night and started drinking Hand Grenades. What are in these things? They taste like fruit juice but after like 4 you can not stand up! They are evil! It took us 2 days to recover!
Now for good ole Tulsa. I hate Tulsa! In my 11 years as a Jaycees I have been to Tulsa 9 times for trainings and conventions. There is not 9 trips worth of things to do in Tulsa, more like 9 minutes. Their airport is teeny. It does not take credit cards (my God, 3rd World countries take credit cards). The person who checked us in at the Northwest Ticket booth, also took our luggage, helped us board the plane and loaded the luggage onto the plane. Really, could you not hire 1 more person in case he needed to go to bathroom? That could seriously derail the departure process if he needed to pee.
Well let's see what Orlando will bring in our quest to serve the Jaycees!
Off to Florida again - blog will most likely resume on Monday, September 28th. Have a great weekend!
