Okay, so I hesitate to even mention this, but what can I do? It's diary update time and I don't have anything truly intelligent to say, but I do have a something from the "Bizarre Observations" file.
So three days ago, I needed gas in the car. I toodled over to the Shell station on my way home from Yoga class. I got out to go pay the cashier and passed a man dressed in work clothes with something dangling from his waist. I couldn't quite see what it was exactly, but when I came out of the store to fill up my tank, I got a good look at him.
This guy had a flattened round catheter bag of urine hanging from his belt, with the tubing going down his pant leg where it disappeared at the cuff, going back up to...... um, er, I don't want to think about it.
My eyes dutifully conveyed this information to my brain, which immediately shot back at me, "You have CLEARLY made an error. Take another look."
So I did. Yep. There it was. A bag of urine with tubing, flapping in the hot evening breeze, attached to a man who had obviously done a hard days work. (Probably throwing rocks at his fellow workers making "pee pee" jokes.)
I sent the message back to my brain, which has staunchly maintained that my eyes need examined and in future not to bother it with any more practical jokes about publicly displayed urine receptacles.
Your brain may concur. And refuse to believe my story. But I promise you that I speak the truth.
I WISH I was making it up.
Look, if I was going to make something up, it would be something more along the lines of say...... meeting Tom Seleck while waiting in line to cash my 42 million dollar lottery ticket.
But no, what do *I* get for "memorable blogging moments" ?
Guys with urine bags dangling from their waists.
Where am I going wrong?
