some mint leaves, I made a pot of chamomile tea.

After all the excitement, I decided I needed

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/01/2020:  16:25:42

some of the mints from the front desk, I jumped in my new used convertible.

Got a text message from my wife telling me to bail her out

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/01/2020:  17:18:33

of the bluegrass jam jail at the festival grounds.

It seems she was

OM45GE - Posted - 02/01/2020:  18:39:23

arrested for playing punk rock loudly on her iPhone.

The bluegrass fans were not amused

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/01/2020:  18:56:13

when I told them I'd be back.

I went through training and became a state trooper

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/01/2020:  19:22:20

but I wasn’t assigned to any state.

So I guess I’ll troop

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/01/2020:  21:55:29

to a jam somewhere that needs policing.

But wearing a police uniform to a bluegrass jam

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2020:  04:48:00

can have some interesting, if unintended, consequences.

First of all, they may expect you to

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2020:  08:40:39

check everybody’s tuning.

Then the harmonica players

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2020:  09:09:56

will start arguing about incomprehensible bending techniques.

Then they’ll turn on

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/02/2020:  11:17:53

the smoke machine and count off.

They try and find

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2020:  11:40:41

mandolin players using a capo.

And please keep your sour high harmony to a dull roar

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/02/2020:  16:19:14

because we are broadcasting it live.

Don't speed up

OM45GE - Posted - 02/02/2020:  18:43:31

as you usually do.

It’s very disconcerting and

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/02/2020:  19:47:14

the rhythm rangers will complain.

Timing is everything, unless

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/02/2020:  21:17:18

you’ve decided to abandon all musical norms to become the next big thing.

Being chained to a desk

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2020:  02:57:42

is no longer considered appropriate employment practice.

Apparently the chains are too noisy and

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/03/2020:  07:13:09

interfere with the percussion at the recording studio.

My ankle bracelet went off during

OM45GE - Posted - 02/03/2020:  11:22:01

church last Sunday.

Old Miss Primble thought it was the angels coming for her and immediately

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/03/2020:  18:55:05

handed me all her cash and began dancing.

I had a heart and left $20 on the pew and left for

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/03/2020:  19:18:53

Grim Jim’s Bar & Grill on Downcast St.



There was live music and somebody passed the hat

OM45GE - Posted - 02/04/2020:  03:08:35

which didn’t fit me so I passed it right along.

I’m not sure why

banjoscotty - Posted - 02/04/2020:  03:51:09

I took her money

But it has sure been

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/04/2020:  04:28:34

A great meal. But all these guys wanted to fight me..



Then I realized they were Miss Primbie's relatives, and so I did what I had to do

Edited by - Peter Vipulis on 02/04/2020 04:29:43

OM45GE - Posted - 02/04/2020:  04:36:42

I said, “Feets don’t fail me now” and took off running like the wind.

Unfortunately, the Primbles were

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/04/2020:  07:00:26

extremely nearsighted and tripped over tables and chairs injuring themselves and the owner's cat.

With a good meal in me I can run

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/04/2020:  08:08:11

til I puke.

Anyway, I lost them in Deadman’s Gulch

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/04/2020:  08:21:54

where I found the bodies from a drug deal gone bad.

After I equipped 2 six-shooters I heard a rustle behind a tree

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/04/2020:  11:19:59

that turned out to be a hungry mountain lion. Though I missed my shot, the sound of the revolver scared the big cat into running off.

So I started looking for another route

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/04/2020:  11:34:20

- the “Mother Road”, Route 66.

I ran into some lost Okies

Rossanne - Posted - 02/04/2020:  12:22:36

..from Oklahoma and a little short on conversation..

Short on cash as well just then..

OM45GE - Posted - 02/04/2020:  14:51:16

so I lent them my last $50.

They were extremely

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/04/2020:  15:15:14

sad to see me penniless,, but not THAT sad.

They asked if I’d like to join them

OM45GE - Posted - 02/04/2020:  15:26:51

for a bite to eat but I said I had a prior engagement.

I headed to the

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/04/2020:  16:07:35

White House and they let me in with flip-flops.

Unbeknownst to many, I was the press secretary and went up to the mic

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/04/2020:  17:08:02

to field questions from the ink-stained scribes.

Alternative facts were bandied about

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/04/2020:  18:33:37

and, in keeping with my attire, I flip-flopped on many of my answers.

That frustrated the media reps, who

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/04/2020:  18:44:49

told me to put on a shirt.

I raised a toast to the founding fathers

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/04/2020:  19:02:33

only to have a bolt of lightning flash through the window.

There was only one thing left to do

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/04/2020:  23:35:00

so I headed for the Rose Garden as fast as I could flip-flop.

There awaited

OM45GE - Posted - 02/05/2020:  02:43:15

absolutely no one.

Apparently I was a day

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/05/2020:  04:59:56

early for my planned resignation speech.

I set up a craps table and coaxed

OM45GE - Posted - 02/05/2020:  05:29:14

the Secret Service agents init plunking Down their hard earned money.

I felt a little guilty because I knew the dice were loaded, but

chuckv97 - Posted - 02/05/2020:  09:39:06

hey, politics is a blood sport.

Just then Wolf Blitzer

OM45GE - Posted - 02/05/2020:  10:46:50

stepped out from behind a rose bush with a consent form to air the tape he’d made of the crap game.

The Secret Service agents immediately handcuffed him and

Peter Vipulis - Posted - 02/05/2020:  11:13:50

spun him in circles, put a bottle of Jack next to him, released the cuffs, and filmed him vomiting.

He left enraged but I collected

Bill Rogers - Posted - 02/05/2020:  11:28:02

enough to buy a plane ticket outta DC.

So I hopped the Metro to Reagan National and

Rossanne - Posted - 02/05/2020:  11:34:29

..met up with Mr.Truff mentioned him all about the particular info according to in-house regulation's....



Doesn't this awsome storytelling make...
