[Rhodes22-list] Fw: From the Geankoplis Book: Another Business Dilemma, or How to Embarrass Yourself Without Even Speaking

[elle]

Chris,

I think I would have made the same  choice;^)

That reminds me of a similar event back when I was a
freshman in college. Several of us went home for a
winter  weekend with another gal who was from the
wilds of West By God Virginny.

It was late...it was cold...it was very dark (no
lights in the mtns around there 'cept for a trailer or
two 'way up in the dark.....)

The WVA gal suddently had a 'need' still aways  from
home & couldn't wait...So we pulled to the side, left
the headlights on,&  she went off to do her thing....
    Just at that moment the only other car on that
side of WVA came roaring up the mtn from the other
direction...we heard this godawful shriek & caught a
glimpse of bright white buttocks reflecting the other
car's lights, pants around her ankles, fleeing into
the woods , her head covered by her coat.

When she returned & caught her breath...and the rest
of us had recovered from nearly dying of laughter...we
asked why she'd put her coat over her head instead of
over her other end....

Her response was that she'd recognized the sound of
the car & realized when she saw it that it was people
(guys, I think)  from her town...couldn't move fast
enough to hide...so she covered her face 'cause they'd
recognize her face but not her butt...;^)

Those were the days...

We can't change the angle of the wind....but we can adjust our sails.
