Betcha never broke your moms tailbone on the way out the baby chute.

Betcha never drank five 40s in one sitting (long time ago, bad idea)

Betcha never quoted HS Thompson's entire "You know a dope fiend when..." speech over the PA on a mission trip.

[Smile] I was not unaware of the possibility of someone writing what rivka did when I composed my last post.

Count me among the legion of elephant riders, by the way.

Edit: To Rivka: Oh, no. Just my general wariness in posting the worst of the work horror stories. I've found most people don't like hearing them. I actually waited a whole day before posting at all because I wasn't sure.

I have also ridden an elephant. Twice at least.

Betcha you've never been hit in the face with a greased watermelon projectile.

Betcha never broke a toe while swimming.

I've never ridden an elephant. Everybody else got to, but my Mum said that I can't because that'll make me feel queasy and throw up. (This was on the same zoo trip our car got pooed on by a giraffe.)

I'm still bitter.

Rivka, itīs like on a rough sea crossing - you're all ill, but the first to hurl starts a chain reaction.... [Wink]


BTW - betcha never been stopped your own armed police roadblock while you were riding a pushbike...

Still no heffalumps though. Mind you, I'm off to London Zoo at the end of the month with the Toddling Tornado, I hope they still do rides. Note to self, must buy peanuts.

I have ridden an elephant, and a camel (not at the same time [Wink] ).

I have been kicked out of a cemetary.

I have jumped from a moving vehicle.

Betcha never asked a random State Trouper for his license and registration.

The phrasing just struck me as odd, and immediately drew my mind into a place where any comment I might make would violate the TOS.

Becha never, Done shots of Tuna eye juice, and eaten live shrimp. I would recommend following it up with a shot of something else. (evolves a trip to Korea)

Becha never, Gone to two Pearl Jam concerts with your 70+ year old Grand Mother. (also saw, Aerosmith, Toad the wet sprocket, Dave Mathews, Pink Floyd and others)

I never asked a cop for his license, but I did ask one for a table for four at IHOP one night, (Lots of drinks involved, fortunately he was in a good mood)

I didn't drive in a hurricane, but we did play football in Hurricane Hugo, Class 3. Punter had a -5 yard punt.

My mom said my head looked like purple play-dough the first time she saw me and the doctor said "We've checked three times and we're pretty sure there's no brain damage." Reassuring, huh?

SC- I passed a trouper sitting in his car with the window rolled down as I approached a convenience store.

I have poor impulse control. *shrugs* He was cute!

I think I really startled the guy, but he smiled at me, anyway. The things you can get away with when you're a 19 year old, relatively wholesome-looking girl.

Betcha never rode out an F5 tornado in a trailer park.

Hey, Porter, where was this? Mine was this one:

http://www.april31974.com/brandenburg_ky_april_3_1974.htm

I was a wee lass at the time.

Also, I think It wasn't a trailer park for me, either. I believe the mobile home was on a few acres of its own. Ginormous oak tree in the back yard (at least, before the tornado...)

No, she was born so fast she didn't even have a normally-misshapen head. The nurses were all oohing over how beautiful she was the whole time we were there (I pushed three times, I think.)

Her sister is the one who was born with a black eye (she was lying sideways in the canal.)

I was stuck in a holding pattern above Houston during that. Three and a half hours for a 45 minute flight. Then when I landed, I almost flodded my car trying to get to Sam Houston Tollway.

My tornado was in the 70s in rural Oklahoma, but I don't actually know what it was rated. I was also too young to remember it.

When I pulled the 360 I was in Montana.

Most of the people I know make it about 200 or 300 then go off the road. I over corrected twice and somehow ended up going straight.

I drove a quad into a barbed wire fence. I wasn't going very fast so I kinda just bounced off, flipped the quad.

Betcha never picked up a live scorpion

I've also ridden an elephant - into Agra Fort (amazingly impressive).

Betcha never drove across the Nullaboor...

(... and scheduled the drive around oysters in Ceduna, wine in Clare, and resteraunts in Mildura. You gotta have fun!)


Betcha never flew from New Dehli, India to Lahore, Pakistan in the middle of a particularly nasty Kashmiri border skirmish.
