Things you can laugh about now - ZEFRANK.COM

I want you to post things that happened to you, or you did in your younger years, that were traumatic then, but you can laugh about now.... I will go first.

When I was in high school, I acted in some plays.

I was cast in an one act of a series of plays called "The Ethel and Albert Comedies". It was just me (Ethel) and another cast member Brett (Albert) and I had most of the dialogue. On opening night, things were going smoothly until I forgot my line. I felt my body go numb, and I turned beet red. I was staring at Brett, and then the adreniline started pumping, and I ran off stage. I left the building. My friend Marie (she was in the second one act) told me that Brett was just left on stage, staring at the audience in disbelief, and the crew closed the curtains. She said it was pretty easy to determine which door I had exited, because there was a trail of clothing (No, I did not get totally nude I just kicked off the shoes and the costume jewelery). I honestly don't remember doing it. I ran to a friend's house and her mother walked me back to the school. I swore I would never get back on stage, but I did the following night, and had Marie sitting backstage with a script. Brett forgot a line, and I said to him "Dear, I will be right back, I think the turkey is burning." I got his line from Marie, and fed it to him. I found out later on, that Brett, and the crew thought I was doing a repeat performance from the night before. I think about this moment and laugh now. Back then it was pretty traumatic.

Your turn.

I started singing in the children's choir at my church really young. By the time I was in 4th grade they needed a 1st soprano in the adult choir so I was allowed to be really "cool" and sing. Not that I was a great singer or anything like that, I could hit the high notes which was what they needed. After a few years of singing with the choir, I did a few solos for our church. It wasn't too bad I knew everyone, had no problem. About the time I was going into 7th or 8th, our leader decided to get us to perform for one of the GA conventions (around 2000 ppl). I was to do a solo. Didn't bother me at all. Got to the hotel, did a practice, hit my high notes. No problem. The main thing I remember walking out was the lights were sooooo bright and hot. Then I remember looking out into the audience and kinda freezing. Everything went in slow motion...I opened my mouth to sing my well practiced solo and the only thing that came out were high pitched squeeks! I couldn't make anything work. It was awful. It sounded like I had a little mouse in my pocket! I didn't leave, I stayed glued to the stage until our song was over. I still can't believe 2000 ppl got to hear me do an impression of a mouse!

That is right!

You mean like the time I was in 10th grade at a real small high school...Very cooly got out of my 63' Chevy Mustang in my very cool bell-bottoms and tube top

in front of most of the students? ...Looking real foxy as the biggest dickwad in the school discovered that I had a (clean) pain of underwear static-clinged unknowingly to the back of my pants and grabbed them and they proceeded to be passed around the school all day...showing up hanging off of chalkboards, pinned to the cafeteria lunch menu sign...etc.

Like that?

OMG!!! That is to funny! Since you were in a small school did any reference to that make it into your yearbook? Did you ever get him back?

Mags, no jury in the world would have convicted you. Especially if your lawyer had loaded the jury with all females.

*************************

Mine is more recent.
We used to operate some primary care clinics in rural areas in South Florida and in the Florida Panhandle. I would travel once a month and spend a week in each place taking care of any maintenance issues.
I put a sink into a closet in the clinic we opened in Clewiston and used the wrong kind of PVC pipe for the hot water line. When I got back to Jacksonville the next day, I found out the pipe had ruptured and ruined their phone system, their computer system, and sheetrock in two different rooms.
I hid in my house for about a week.
It's funny now because the doctor in charge of that clinic was a spoiled brat who couldn't do anything with his hands other than sign his name and use a stethoscope. Now, with a few years gone by, I think of it and I can just imagine him hurtling around that clinic trying to figure out how to shut off the water.
He's gone, I'm still here!

"Small school" was a nice way of not saying, "alternative school" which is what they called the high school where the kids that got in trouble for ditching, etc. got to go

Hey I lived in Malibu Canyon, Southern California... I had things to do, places to be...beaches to go to for goodness sakes what'd they except? sheesh.

They had a class reunion that I didn't attend but heard that the panty event was still remembered...gggreeat.

Funny thing about that pot smoking dickweed troubled teen that took my undies...he's now a 'rocket scientist'

masterofNone · 03-15-2004, 03:00 PM

thought you were gonna say he was your husband.

daverbee · 03-15-2004, 04:02 PM

That would have been too perfect a punchline.

Wait, is that a polite-ish way of saying he's gay??

Deviate · 03-15-2004, 04:25 PM

since when is "pot-smoking dickweed" polite?

ally · 03-15-2004, 05:58 PM

I farted very loudly in a school assembly when I was about 14, just as the head teacher was saying the lord's prayer. Cringe.

I remember I was about 10 or 11 and we had rented a beach house for a week that summer. My boobs hadn't really started to grow yet and I had forgotten to pack my bathing suit. My mom told me to just use one of hers. Of course she had those awsome one piece's with the pre-formed boobs included in it.

I was all stoked cause I had boobs wearing that suit! So there I am running and laughing and decided to go for a swim. I met a cute boy who was alot older than me...So I am out there diving under waves when all the sudden I come up for air and WHAM, sucker punched by a wave...the air was knocked out of me and I was frantically trying to swim to the top when I hit the bottem...I was going the wrong way! So I get up and am gasping for air and decide that I need to get out of the water....

So cute boy helps me out and we are walking up to our lil camp and he is kind of laughing at me and says ill be alright and walks away....

I look down and notice that the rubber boob thingis in the bathing suit are totally inverted!! They must have been pushed in when the wave hit me....I was mortified.....

ahahahahha!
