Did I ever tell you about the time I saved the guy who fell asleep smoking? It was in New Orleans, Chris and I were dating, and he had a job and his own apartment, and I spent the night there one time, and woke up smelling something funny. About 2 am, I think. And I nudged Chris awake and wanted to know what that funny smell was. And we got up and looked around the apartment, and then we got dressed, and I went downstairs, and there was smoke coming out from underneath a door. We banged on the door, and then I opened it and there was a guy asleep on a burning bed. So I made him get off the bed and go outside, and we dragged the mattress out and poured water on it. He was an alcoholic, and had fallen asleep while smoking.
So we got dressed, and went to my apartment on the other side of town, because the smell of smoke was so bad, and we started living together, and here we are.
Yes, I knew you were joking. Everyone needs an extra uncle or two. I like it. |
