douche

Here we go, now this picture has a funny story behind it. It goes a little something like this. . . . at maybe 8 or 9PM Ryan decided he wanted to take the ODC boys skunk hunting. I came around at about the time the had scared the little guy into a culvert that ran under a roadway in camp. They had blocked both ends off with rocks, and were planning on running water inside it to scare the fellow out and then just mash it with a bunch of rocks. Well, in the course of deciding what would be the best way of doing this, they decided it would be best to put a very large black plastic trash bag on one end, and run water on the other, along with hitting a 5 gallon container to creat a very loud and booming sound to scare Mr. Skunk. Well, long and crazy story short, it did scare the skunk out, but the skunk saw a small opening to where it could escape the trash bag. As soon as there was movement, all the ODC boys scrambled and Ryan ended up getting sprayed.

So, now Ryan smelled like skunk, and Kevin and I were driving him in his own truck. Ryan sat in the back of the bed, and Kevin and I were up front. We drove to the local grocery store to find a Douche. Now, some problems were presented with this. Number one, neither Kevin or myself knew what a Douche Bag was. So, what we did was go up to a gentlemen in the produce department and said something to the effect of, "hey, umm our friend got sprayed by a skunk, and well we want to buy a douche for him, but we don't really know what that is. Can you help us?" The guy kind of chuckled and said, "Well, I suppose when you get upset at a friend, you can call him a Douche Bag, heh heh." We were like, "No, but seriously, what is it?" As we made our way to the feminine products isle, we had attracted the attention of one other employee, and that is what you see in the picture above. You can see Kevin reaching for a Douche Bag, and the two workers (a middle aged man from produce, and a stocker). I was laughing extremely hard at this point.

The skunk made it out alive, and I laughed more this evening, that I usually do in a week.

Ya know what, you are right. I changed that comment. Sorry about that, I didn't even think about it. I need to be more mindful about that kind of stuff. Thanks for catching me on that one.
