Silly Sausage

While at my friend's wedding reception I found myself conversing with another of the bride's friends and the minister who performed the ceremony.  There were trays of super yummy hor d'oeuvres, which included some bacon wrapped sausages.  As we were all chatting the ministers eyes began roaming as he was keeping an eye out for the plate of sausages.

Soon after this verbal slip up the minister went to chat with some other members of his congregation. My new wedding friend and I laughed and fretted over the innuendo that was accidentially spewed onto this man of the cloth.  We were discussing whether or not he got the subtleties of what was said or if he was too sausage hungry to notice when we came back over to us to introduce us to his partner...which happened to be a man...so the minster was in fact sausage hungry...in more ways than one...making the prior comment more than appropriate...crisis averted!

British Gentleman

I was travelling from England to Belgium a couple months ago, and I had a connecting bus.  The first bus dropped me off at this little bus stop with no people or lights, but my next bus went on a ferry, and I could see signs indicating the ferry terminal was nearby.  When I got off the bus, I asked the driver if this is where I waited for the bus going on the ferry to Belgium and she told me yes.  So, I'm waiting and waiting...being very patient, which is not in my nature, except when I'm on holiday, I suppose.  No other people show up, and then I start to see some buses drive by on a highway a good 100 yards from where this bus stop is.  I finally see a guy walk by with a reflective vest, and assume he works for the ferry terminal. 

This is the angriest I've ever made a stranger.  Except there was this youth in the park the day before who wanted 3 pounds 50 for chicken and chips.  He had a friend with him, and I felt uncomfortable, so I said no and then he called me a "horrible bitch" not shouty, just in a quiet storm kind of way.  The next girl he walked up to and asked gave him the money, so I guess he got his chicken and chips.  Anyway, this ferry terminal guy was vocally upset with me.  So upset, in fact, that he threw his hat on the ground.  Here is a re-dramatization. 

After he picked his hat up, and properly chastised me, making me feel quite small and stupid he told me to get in his car and we chased the bus towards the ferry.  When we got in the car, he was sniffling a bit from being outside all day.  He apologized for the sniffles, but no mention was made of the hat outburst.  He had to flash his badge to get us through some checkpoints and we found my bus just as it was about to go through immigration.  It was a german bus driver who was not impressed with my shenanigans at all, but at least I made it.
