Next time I am around an anesthesiologist I need to remember to ask them if they get comedy training in med school.  They are always joking around when they are getting ready to put you under.  

That's the truth, when he tried to put an epidural in my wife he missed and it leaked down her back, she got to feel the whole thing even the emergency C-section.  I told her if he wasn't trying to be a stand up comic he may have got it right

I used to play golf with a couple proctologists.   Dudes were hilarious!

My buddy took me to Golden Corral after my last one.  He still tells the story about how I was eating a chicken leg while loading my plate.

I may be old, but not old enough to be at Woodstock.  

I chose to fish in Canada rather than go to Woodstock. I was nearly 20.

It was just another day on the ranch, probably branding or moving cattle, but Woodstock didn't cause much of a stir at the time. If I'd known ahead of time how it would turn out, I might have gone to see the elephant.

My parents dropped me off at my great-aunts house, saying they would be back in a few days.  

Going on 3 weeks later they still weren't back.  My aunt and grandparents were pissed, and there was all this whispering over the phone, and private conversations out in the driveway.   I remember being sick with worry and nobody had any answers. I could tell that I was "out of the information loop".   I honestly thought I'd been orphaned.   My dad had a bird dog and I remember being extremely concerned about who was taking care of her !   

Unsettling as hell for a little guy 😢  Plus there were gypsy's in town that always hung and camped around the railroad, that I had always been warned to stay away from.....and occasionally they would go sauntering by my aunt's house looking all sketchy.   

I was silently in terror !   Sad as hell when I think back.   Poor little guy!  😢

They finally came rolling back into town in their Peanut Truck, looking like a couple of vagrants.....but acting all cool like everything was chill.   Nothing was "chill" about it at all !  

I had truly great parents.....but that little escapade left scars that have lasted my entire life.    I always make sure my kids know exactly where I am at any given time, and never fail to answer their calls/texts/ect.   

Oh, and Lindy (the bird dog) was perfectly fine.   One of dads hunting buddies was going by twice a day and taking care of her. 👍.  Somebody could have at least told me that !!!!  😔  Because every time I sat down to eat I wondered if Lindy was being fed.  

 

Phuck Woodstock !  🫣

I’ve seen the “what’s cooking” thread on here and that’s highly likely 😆

Did you recognize them after all that time?

That was the August  that I got caught horseback in a blinding snow squall at the foot of the Pequop mountain and thought I'd freeze to death, while a few miles away  on the other side of a ridge all the other hands never saw any change in the bright hot day. Didn't believe me when I was 2 hours late at the meeting spot with no cows.

But I really don't really recall hearing much about Woodstock until about a year later after I was in the navy and around younger guys that followed the bands that played there.

For the money they charge, they should have a free all you can eat buffet in the recovery room.

Oh everyone did!   Who couldn't recognize a pair of middle class nerds in an old Tom's Peanut Truck with Peace signs, Pansy's, and Kilroy's hand painted all over it. 😅 

The fact that the ol'man drove that inline 6 cylinder POS all the way there and back without so much as a flat tire, blown valve cover gasket, or clutch failure.....amazes me to this day.
