Hi All,
( What I received @ BBB :o)
Well... as was told to me ;o)
It was 5am when my friend & his wife
were Knocked out of Bed....
& I mean by another vehicle backing into their bus !!!  ;o)
After accessing the damage
The Big,  Pierced, mean looking & Heavily  Tattoo' d
Dude in the vehicle with all of his friends...
promised to come back in the day light
To take a look at the damage.....
Yeah, Right !!!!
The conversations around the camp fire went something  like....
They wont be back.... & Even if they Do.... They dont  'look' like they could
rub two pennies together if they wanted !
To, just how bad they were driving etc....
&,  "I saw them speed out the gate... they wont be  back" !!!
And as the day progressed... they never showed.
Everyone  felt smug in their Rightness, their  Righteousness,
&, their Superior Judge of the Sad State of Man and  Mankind....
.
5pm
Twelve hours later & after getting money wired to them....
They came back with a Hundred Dollar Bill !!!
Maybe not quite enough to cover the damage,
but, All that they could come up with.
Great Lessons learned by All !!!
Even myself, ( who Should know better, after  growing up in Utah in the
sixties & early seventies, wearing
Tie Dyed shirts & Bell bottoms,
& after, Getting my long hair cut by the  cowboys,
along side of the road, while hitch hiking,
With Sheep Shears
& a few good kicks to go with that thar new 'hair  cut'. !!!
.
So,  when that "Butterfly Sneezed @ BBB"
We cant imagine Where it will Lead !!!
& The future good deeds that will come from  it!
Thanks Son, With all of the piercing &  Tats...
It was good to share the festival with you & your  friends!
I'm Proud of You !!!!
JC...
