Be careful where you stick your penis

Uncategorized

Ok guys… just a word of advice from someone with experience. Unless you want to go through extensive surgery and many months of pain and suffering, when you are in a pool do not stick your penis into the little hole that sucks in water. Trust me, it is not worth it.

I knew you were coming so I baked a cake…

Uncategorized

NOT! Living on Guam we were experiencing a tropical storm of some magnitude. Electricity went out, we thought of the guys in the barracks with nothing to do, no power, external darkness about to fall. Invite them over..we had battery powered everything. Husband went to round his guys up, bring them over. I decided to whip up a couple of cakes, hors d’oeuvres while waiting for them to arrive. He returns with ten guys, asks me what I was doing. “Have to feed them, give them a treat…baking cakes and snacks…” Guys grin “Wow! Home cooking!” He asked me “How??”. And I could only close my eyes in embarrasment as I remember my ELECTRIC stove.

How I almost Failed 12th Grade English

Uncategorized

Ok, so first of all, let me just say that im not a bad student. Bascially, we had to do this huge project our senior year, which involved a paper and a presentation, and a bunch of stuff in between. My topic was clay animation. I never did the paper(Procrastinated, then just couldn’t find enough info in time). However, i worked for two weeks on an actual clay animation to put into my presentation slideshow. As usual, I procrastinate and wait until the very last night to prepare my powerpoint. I finish at around 1:30 am, put all my stuff together, put the video in there, and go to sleep. The next morning, I was very nervous of course( we were presenting to 3 people who we did not know). Lucky for me, my presentation wasn’t until 10am or so, so i had time to go over my notes. Finally, it is my turn to do my presentation. Everything is fine, I go through all my slides, and finally its time to show my two weeks of hard work. So, I click on the last slide to start the video, and nothing happens. I was mortified and totally embarrassed. It turned out I never uploaded the video, only an image. And i was too lazy and tired the night I was working on my power point to check everything. Of course I should have known to include the video on the flash drive. Well, you wouldn’t believe it, but they gave me a perfect score, despite the fact I was missing half my presentation. Perhaps it was pity, I’ll never know. I learned my lesson though. Now I always check all of my power points, to make sure everything is properly saved and works on another computer. Can’t take any chances.

Frozen Boxes May be Slippery

Uncategorized

So here I am helping out at my schools PTA meeting. Everything is going great, all of the parents showed up and were having a great time. Again I’m helping to make this meeting go well, assisting with setting up and now I’m helping to distribute to finger foods for the parents to eat and mingle with each other. Handing out drink after drink ‘what kind would you like’ I said ‘grape please’ she responded…’oh I’m out of grape just give me a second I’ll get some’ so i walked down to the guidance counselor rooms and proceeded to the freezer to retrieve two cases of drinks. the boxing that housed each case was completely frozen, ice had formed on all sides. still i managed to steadily lift both cases of drinks together in my hands. Making my long way back to the distribution table amidst many parents, teachers, staff and even some students something very embarrassing happened. The ice started to melt and went crashing down to the ground, everyone looked on to see that I dropped the last two cases of drinks and how heavy could it be i mean its only two cases. Looking around I could almost see what they were thinking and the names they were calling me.
Completely embarrassed i picked up the 48 can juices set them up and went on the computer.
Were did I go wrong I shouldn’t volunteer in the first place.but then again I shouldn’t lift a frozen box.-
