No clue where I was! Then I remembered that I had gotten so tired I had pulled into a rest area to nap. Was a pretty scary 30 seconds! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was on the road a bunch, like you, I'd wake up and try to remember WTH I was. After a time I came to realize the more important question was "is the bathroom on the right or the left of the bed". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IUFLA Posted December 20, 2023 Report Share Posted December 20, 2023 The year I was in Greenland, you had 3 months in the winter where it was dark all of the time, and 3 months in the summer where it was light all the time... I'd come back to my dorm after a day shift and take a nap... Wake up, look at the clock, and if it said 4, the first question was, "ok, which one?" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the same but when I was in college I swallowed a dip with a sip of Captain Morgan. A couple months later my truck wouldn't start and I unknowingly dumped a coke can full of dip spit on my battery post. Wintergreen smells and spiced rum still make me gag or puke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am in a different hotel 3 or 4 nights a week. 2am the bladder gives out and its pure panic mode. 1. Which side of the bed do o get off. 2. Is the bathroom on the right or left side as I walk 3 and the worst....where is the damn light switch!

mrflynn03 Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 A guy I call rehab Bill. Because Bill was his name and we didn't know last names. He liked to say, maybe we don't die and the light at the end of the tunnel is an opening of a new vagina. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 When I was in college I had a really sweet job traveling the country teaching method 9 EPA emissions classes. I was too young to wake up an pee in the middle of the night. But being a small town kid I did have some new experiences. I ran in to hookers and my boss offered to buy me a prostitute in Little Rock. Spent a couple weekends in the French Quarter. Was the only white guy at a birthday party for a gay guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
