I Left My Bus Fare at the Pub, and......
Humor
My most embarrassing moment would probably have been the bobsledding incident.It was a nice cold winter with lots of ice and snow and I was helping a mate shovel his driveway for his dad. When I went into the shed to get a shovel I saw a glorious tobogan up in the rafters with nice shiny(actually they were kind of rusted) blades. I came back to the house with both shovel and sled.Now since the road was like one long sheet of ice and in a cul-de-sac, I thought it might be a great idea to shovel a strip of the road and sweep it up all nice like and put a bit of water on it. Any car coming down the lane could easily straddle it, but this wasn't a busy neighborhood. I gave it a few test runs and as long as you were on the path you went down the road like lightning.We were watching a movie called "Out Cold" before all of our other friends showed up for the weekly Sofa Saturday (called such because we would pull an old sofa out of the garage down to the end of the driveway by the street and start a fire out by the road. Like I said..it's not a busy neighborhood). In it these snowboarders go down the hill "Papa Muntz" style which is drop trow. Papa Muntz started it by dying on his skis whilst dropping a deuce in the bushes. Noone ever found out why he went skiing with his trousers down, but if you're that interested you can watch the film.That evening after it got a bit cold and the party moved into the house, I began getting really hot. I took off my shirt and went out and lay in the snow to cool down. Of course this lead to making snow angels. Finally after being quite soused I suggested we all go back out and run the course that I spent a better part of three hours preparing and none of them had ridden on yet.Outside we had a great laugh as everyone tried their hand at the course, some with booze in hand. I decided I was going "Papa Muntz" style. Mind you I didn't have on a shirt and I dropped trow and ran the entire length of the course up over the turn and into a neighbor's yard. Standing in victory with nothing on, but my boots and trousers about my ankles.Skip to the following year at a Halloween party at the same house. Many of the neighbors were invited and one of them asked my mate,"I don't sleep well so I sometimes get up in the middle of the night to get a drink of water and I can hear your music playing next door, so I look out the window to see what your up to. It usually gives me a laugh to watch you guys having such a good time. Last year I noticed that you built a bobsled run down the street and I had gotten up as usual and there was a naked man standing in my yard. Which one of your pals was that?"To which he pointed at me and said, "That guy!". "It sure must have been cold" the neighbor said with a smile and walked away.
