Dawn - i dont know if I could have returned to jamaica - ever - lol lol
Venus - im still laughing - it sounds like you made the whole thing a lot more awkward by announcing it -if you had just pretended that it was normal to carry around dirty knickers everything would have been fine and your Mom would have had her dish.
I have a good one.
It was about 30 years ago - I was in my early 20's.
I had the opportunity to spend a winter sailing in the Virgin Islands. I lived on an exquisite 72' old wooden sailing boat with a group of pretty wild friends.
One evening we happened to be along side a big ship of some sort - I can't recall where we were or why we were tied onto this ship - i think we must have had some of the non English speaking crew come down to our boat for a drink - there was a LOT of drinking going on in those days.
I guess they must have invited us over to see their ship. Eileene and I thought that would be great fun - we were pretty tipsy at the time , but we had our sea legs so we start climbing this rope that crew had rigged to come down to our boat - to get up on this huge ship. The crew guys were behind us ready to catch us if we fall - Half way up the rope it occurred to me that I was wearing a skirt without any panties - I whisper to Eileen - that "I don't have on any underpants"! and she said - "she didn't either"! (Perhaps we hadn't been near a laundry mat for awhile) Well the guys below us were getting one hell of a show. They brought us onto the boat and the next thing we know we are being escorted deeper and deeper into the bowels of the ship.
We are still rather drunk and just going along for the ride when the ships horn sounded. The ship was getting ready to depart - we turned looked at each other with panic realizing what we had done and managed to get off the boat in time.
A little while later from what looked like a tiny tiny sail boat next to that huge ship - we watched it motor away...
Can you imagine what would have happened if we didnt get off when we did ....
