can't beat rimfire therapy.....

I do have one kind of funny story for y'all if you want one.

While I was in Houston, I went through a few weeks of hallucinating terribly. Some of the things I saw I still nightmare about.

HOWEVER, I had enough of the right mind to realize I was hallucinating but that realization didn't make it go away. So...the apartment where we were staying had a linoleum floored bathroom. The linoleum had an odd design on it in black, against a white background. Well, when I would go in there to have a seat for a while, the design in the floor would come alive and I would see things like gila monsters, scorpions and such. So, I would go in, sit down, and then RAISE MY FEET a foot or two off the floor.

One day my wife walks in and asks "What in the WORLD are you doing?". By then I'm pretty frustrated with the whole thing, so I look her in the eye and with all sincerity I explain, "I don't PLAN to get BIT while I'm taking a #$@%."

It was immediately funny and we still laugh about it every time we think about it. Now, when she passes the bathroom door she will ask "are your feet on the floor?" My wife...no other like her.

You sure your ready for .22 therapy ???

This sorta reminds me of a funny incident when I was in my late teens. A friend of my brother was visiting one night, and he had smoked some sort of illicit "green leafy matter" and God knows what else mixed with it...anyway he was on his hands and knees zipping around the lounge room floor. He stopped at a chair, just looking at the shadow on the floor under said chair. I asked him what he was doing and he said he was chasing a small purple elephant and it fell down the "hole" under the chair.

I suggested to my brother that he doesn't invite this guy around if he has been using anything illicit. Still bloody funny though watching him scooting around the room on his hands and knees.

Cheers, Vince
