Well, lets see...there was that time a Mexican cartel hit man mistook me for his intended target and...…

Let me tell you of the hot August night when I was trapped in a grain elevator with Puddles Pity Party and Morgan James.

The time I was sure that I was going to die!!

So there I was again, in a Bangkok hotel, with a road flare up my butt, in a two piece bikini, and only 17 cents to my name...

The biggest payout I got playing the powerball

One of the most interesting story subjects in my life and others are hearing individual NDE (near-death-experiences) I know in my life I've had a few, the type that you go dark maybe injury, illness, disease and thru some intervention come back to the world of living and/or consciousness. Very sobering reflections.

My daughter asked “Dad can you come and get me?”
“Where are you?”
“At the hospital.”
“Why are you at the hospital?”
“Well. I was in jail and then got bit by the bat.”

That time we were camping in the woods at night and giant trees began mysteriously falling around us.

(The story's not that long, but I didn't want to interrupt the thread.)

About 1971, alone in garage, nobody home. Siphoned gas out of my 69 Corvette (large gas filler hole straight into gas tank) as had water in tank. Reached in to wipe out few remaining drops of water in corner of tank. Couldn't get my hand out of gas tank.

About the time I let a prisoner escape from from a stockade work detail and got promoted.

The time I got a lifetime ban from the campus of Bentley College.

I went down to the firehouse at lunch to drop off my share of the money for the guns we were buying from the Russians.

The time I rode shotgun on a barge collecting bodies after Katrina, watching for 'gators.

After sun goes down and the supper has settled,

I'd request a story about a kid in the East Texas Piney woods

I was parked with my best girl, when a report came over the radio that Ben, the one armed killer had escaped from the insane asylum.....

Didn't we have a member here at one time
that had a considerable amount of time
In the military as a bomb disposal
Team leader ?

I bet he could fill up a week end
with stories.

^^^^^^^
Hope you can find someone to tell some stories. My Uncle would tell some pretty interesting stories after he had a few drinks. I was a kid and easily impressed. Those were good times. I am sure we have a budding Mark Twain somewhere on the Forum.

When I was down in the West Texas town of El Paso, I fell in love with a Mexican girl.

^^^ Felina? I met her sister. She kept telling me to come a little bit closer.

the day I actually made a difference , In Mesa , at the Fry's grocery store.
