I Was Reminded Of A Memory I Have.....

Sadly, it's a shitty story:

Several years ago, on one of our last 'family' vacations (i.e. 'all four of us') we went to Branson, MO. One of the things we did was ride a riverboat that doubled as a dinner and showboat. There was a lovely meal and a Cirque De Soleil-esque entertainment show. Well, come to find out we were actually riding the same boat as Nancy Kerrigan. Yes, THAT Nancy Kerrigan. Well, after the ride and everyone was leaving the boat, it just so happened that Nancy was being asked for more autographs than the people who provided the entertainment. Well, I pulled my brother to the side and said that I should walk by her, and my brother should run past me, hit me in the knee, and I would fall to the ground and scream "WHhhhyyyyy MEEEEE?????????!!???????"

We never did it, but It would have been Funny.

When I'm in my mid-40s.......I will probably be this guy. (although, I would rather be THIS guy.) Let me explain:

I taped a wedding yesterday. Yesterday was Friday The 13th. The wedding was supposed to start at 7pm. The wedding did not start till 7.30 b/c the bride did not show up until 7pm. At the end of the wedding, part of the flower arrangement caught on fire. (Yes......the candle got the plastic ivy too hot, and it started burning. One of the groomsmen had to put it out.) After the wedding, the couple had to stay and help clean up after their own wedding. Also, there was some guy in the back who slept the entire time......and snored.

There's just this karma that surrounds unlucky hard-luck people like me.

Can you do a program, and say 'The Names have been changed to protect the innocent,' but not really change the names......kind of a shuck and jive so that people think the names are changed......but they're not?
