More from the Ski Trip Lodge

     As I was on facebook tonight I wrote that I felt verklempt about something.  A friend asked what verklempt meant and I said, "we say that all the time at work."  It's just one more thing that cracks us up.  We have said that forEVER.  That restaurant is just one big crack up.  One joke after another.  And let me tell you, we aren't mature.  Never have been and never will be.  It's terrible. 
     Here's an example.  Johnny BP (everyone has a nickname), is a funny guy.  Years ago when he started he was the so called rookie.  Well. years later, he still is.  He came later than most of us so we all treated him like the guy who couldn't wait tables.  Even though we appreciated him being there, we were not very trusting that he could handle the weight.  He couldn't most of the time but he is sure fun to work with.  He played along with all of our antics and made a lot of them up.    He'd purposely drop a pen on the floor, usually when I or someone else was extremely pregnant, and of course he'd pretend like he wouldn't see that it "fell" to the floor.  I (or whomever was pregnant) would bend down to pick it up, because a pen on the floor could kill someone of we stepped on it, and as we would bend down Johnnhy BP would make a huge fart sound to make it seem like the victim, who bent down to pick up the object that fell to the floor ,let out a ripper.  He'd laugh and walk away.  That is how long ago that old joke is considering the last time one of us was pregnant was at least 10 years ago.  We still do that EVERY time someone bends over to pick something up.  Ok, not everyone does that but those of us that aren't very mature do.  It's just good clean fun.  Another Johnny BPism is...  Well, stay tuned.  You'll eventually get the stories on most of our good clean fun jokes.
