I was telling my sons this story in the car tonight, and it occurred to me that it might make a funny entry on my blog, here goes:
After I graduated High School, I went to Performing Arts School. This was a very big deal in the 80's because "Fame" was so popular. I even went out and bought "leg warmers". I was a pretty shy person and definitely did not have enough self-esteem to get through such a program...I was nervous as hell, and the competition there was mighty fierce. Luckily I made a few friends. One was my roommate, her name was Lisa too, so we were LB and LM, for short. Another friend and classmate was "Joe" from Texas. He drove a Duke's of Hazard car, chewed tobacco, and was funnier than hell. LM was in love with him, so she took every opportunity she could to spend time with him. Joe was very laid back, a total "good ol' boy", he had a mullet and everything. One day LM and I took a trip to the grocery and Joe came with us. Oh, Joe smoked a lot of weed too...so this makes the story even funnier. The three of us were standing in line with our groceries, ready to check out and Joe takes his hands out of his jacket pocket and presents a piece of cotton. (like a cotton ball) He says to me and LM, "watch this" and he sticks the cotton into his right nostril. LM and I are trying desperately not to laugh at him, he shushed us and kept a total straight face. DEAD SERIOUS. We placed our groceries onto the conveyor and Joe steps up to the cashier with this piece of cotton hanging out of his nose and while looking at the lady, he blows (exhales) through his nose and the cotton piece went flying and landed amongst the groceries she had just scanned. LM and I were dying, we could not control ourselves and we collapsed into laughter. Joe did not laugh, he kept a total straight face. He looked into the eyes of the very confused cashier, shook his head and said "will you look at that". He reached over, picked up the cotton ball and stuck it right back into his nose. If at all possible, LM and I became more hysterical than before, we literally fell on the floor laughing. Everyone in the aisles on either side of us were standing on their tiptoes to see what was going on. LM and I continued laughing as Joe picked up the groceries and walked out of the store without as much as a smile and a piece of cotton stuck up his nose.
God, that still makes me laugh.
