This will be a silly memory! so wait for it. today paula and i went for pedicures this afternoon. we followed that by going to the Mexican restaurant next door to partake of an afternoon marguerite. The waiter brought us to large drinks which resembled two swimming ponds. I finished mine and half of Paula which has rendered me a bit inebriated. This has gotten me to thinking of two great inebriations of my life.
The first started in Viet Nam. Started drinking with a few Australian troops in Pleiku. It was a Friday evening. Saturday morn we were in Sidney. Some how we got on an austral military transport. do not remember much of the weekend events but Monday morning we were back in Pleiku.
The second bout started at the officers club at Fort Bliss in El Paso Texas. We had just finished some exams for anesthesia school. At the club celebrating where there were having a 2 for special on harvey wallbangers (in case you don't recall that is OJ, vodka and Galiano). I bought ten, which means i consumed 20. All i recall is somehow getting to my apartment lying on my bed with one foot on the floor to prevent the room from spinning.
Not proud moments but memories none the less!
In vino verities but in harvey wallbngers there is embarrassment!!
Amazing you didn't end up crossing the boarder and in a Mexican prison.
