Thanks for the bump! Danielle, Bilingual Support Specialist

Bump for new me. This isn't the one I was looking for but it's pretty freakin' funny. I'll keep looking for the longer one.

This is posted in closet smokers...but the only ones who would get a laugh would be those who are closet smokers and would go into that topic to read. In lieu of us all needing a good laugh I decided this laugh can be on me. My gift to you. THIS IS A TRUE STORY..... THE NAME OF THE PERSON IS CHANGED TO MERCY TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY!! BASED ON A TRUE STORY Back in the late 80's I sang with a band. Nothing fancy...but a real good country club/wedding type band. It was a classy band. The guys were music teachers and awesome musicians. They wore black tuxes and I had a pretty black dress. (oops...giving my age away a bit. Yes.... this is before the DJ era.) Now picture this: I would go to the band jobs always taking the back routes so I could smoke along the way. Here I am.... this Italian looking hottie...in a beautiful black belted dress...black high heels on great looking legs. (sigh...... that was the day!!) I threw my third wolfed down cigarette out the window as I was only 10 minutes from the country club. I did my usual.... roll down all four car windows so the forceful catogory 4 hurricane breeze would air me out!! After a minute or two I rolled up the windows and I felt a painful bee sting on my upper thighs. Actually, it felt more like a snake bite. The road had become full of traffic and I kept glancing down at my lap. Not only did my legs sting...but I smelled melted plastic! You got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I was burning up. The butt must have flown back at me in the car and caught my dress on fire... and it...along with me was smoldering. Now... I'm in the middle lane of traffic swerving all over the road with cars honking on either side as I try to extinguish myself. I manage to make a severe, right into a parking lot and pull over to a spot away from other parked cars to survey the situation. Not good....not good at all. My situation was grim indeed. I had to be at this job in 20 minutes and I'm still 10 minutes away. I have a dress that is melted right threw to my pantyhose!! My adrenaline was still on overdrive from the shock of the situation... and believe it or not..... I was dying for another cigarette!!!!! I gazed up and down the road for some idea... and there... not too far

Mercy, That's one funny story...put's a whole new meaning to the phrase, "One smokin' hot Mama" doesn't it? :) Hope the lady in question didn't burn too badly.

No I didn't burn bad...thanks to the days of synthetic polyester!! Stretchy synthetic polyester shrivels when it melts...LOL Did you ever light a match on the end of a plastic rop and it melts. That's what this dress did.

It's funnier the second time around! Anyone else do something not so graceful, just to get that fix? Josie _____________________ The SSC Support Team.
