As per RBH?s request in another thread here is the story: Keep in mind that when I retire I?m going to write a book titled Lies from the Teacher?s Lounge. Only thing wrong with that title is that this is a true story. Which I might add comes up every time a new guy comes in the lounge for the first time. Especially since this guy is now the Division Chair of our Career Tech Division at the CC. I personally did not make this trip but all the old instructors that have since retired did and I hope this is not one of those you had to be there stories because I personally thought this was one of the funniest of the 15,000 notes stuck in a folder around my house some-where that I will find sometime to sit down and finish. So give your honest opinion is this funny or not? I will probably test the I-boats forum thoughts on stories from time to time to just see if they are worth the humor. In short if isn?t funny it?s not going in this book.
This is about a group of instructors that went to Auburn University in Alabama for recertification in Refrigeration and A/C along with a Welding and Sheet Metal instructor and a couple of directors. But going through Starkville Ms. (Home of Miss. State University) they decided to stop and buy a hoop of cheese for which MSU is noted. (It really is some good cheese.), to snack on for the next four days. Needless to say Tommy, we will call him to protect the innocent, who is very frugal with money and food consumed a large amount of the hoop of cheese on the (7) seven hour drive to Auburn. Honestly do you really know any one that can eat half a hoop of cheese and NOT have some digestive problems with in a few hours? WELLLL it happened and Tommy got so constipated he could not go for 4 days. To listen to these guys talk they ragged him every day for eating all the snack foods before they even got there and he got no sympathy from his cohorts at all. On the way back home is when all the fun started. Tommy kept telling the A/C instructor driving he had to go but they were ready to get back home and did not need to stop for gas yet. No pun intended. The driver did say from time to time a yellow fog would roll up and over the back of the seat to which he would roll down the window and stick his head out like a dog just to get some fresh air. When the fog cleared they would roll the windows back up and cuss Tommy for 5miles before they would have to go through this process time and time again, finally after 4 hours of driving they stopped at a convenience store to fill up with gas. Tommy almost broke the door handle getting out of the van broke into full sprint across the parking lot got inside the store got the key and broke for the restroom outside around back. The rest of the group finished filling up the van and went to pay for the gas and get a soda. They were standing in front of the ice cream box waiting to pay as an overwhelming odor began emanating through the cement blocks. YEP CONCRETE The guy behind the counter looked down at his feet checking the bottom of both of his shoes to see if he had stepped in something. . Looked up and said.? Do ya?ll smell that?? Well when they heard that they all broke out in gut wrenching laughter. After rolling off the ice cream box holding his side one of them managed to tell him it was probably there buddy that had been constipated for 4 days. That must have made him mad because his only comment after that was ya?ll get that SOB out of my place and don?t ever come back. As they were pulling away the counter guy was coming out the door with a newspaper he set on fire and was walking toward the restroom. Guess he was trying to kill the smell with burning paper. Tommy will never live this one down.
After writing this and reading it twice I guess it is one off those you had to be there stories.
