Tonic anyone?

Today I took my computer to get fixed...Sometimes when I go out I take a drink with me just to prevent dehydration etc. So today I went out with my tonic in hand...I love drinking tonics. Steph thinks they're too bitter, but I love the lemony taste.

Anyways...I take the taxi to the train, take the train 3 stops, get in another taxi and finally make it to the computer shop. I dropped my computer off, left and hopped in a taxi. With my tonic in hand, I pop it open and suddenly it starts spraying everywhere. I'm yelling and holding it out the taxi door. (They're open air rickshaws.) He pulls over, looks back, and can't figure out what was happening. He was high as a kite. It was hilarious. It had sprayed all over the man's back. I felt horrible for that and kept apologizing profusely, but it was raining so everything was wet already. I guess reading the article in the newspaper yesterday about the 4000+ potholes in the city sort of affected my tonic. I should've known better, but it was pretty funny.

High like he should have called mom at work high? I didn't really picture that being a practice over there.

Hi! I mean, High as in the guys on the flight HIGH?? I still laugh every time I remember looking at Beverly and asking her how her dinner was with her reply being "just the way I like it" and the Indian guy's fannie about an inch from landing on the whole tray! I can very much relate to those "you had to be there moments"
Glad you and Stephanie are feeling better. Love reading your "words"
thanks for sharing.
