My Bad!!!!!! (long but will make you smile!)

18 years ago

OMG! This afternoon I took my SO to John's Pass Village & treated him (per his request) to pizza & beer at our favorite pizza place-right on the Intercoastal. The entire Village & Boardwalk was packed..Father's Day and all. They opened up a new 2 story building last year with a few retail shops, so we browsed them prior to pizza. WELL! The one place was an 'Old Time' photo place-where you dress up in costumes for photos? We enjoyed looking at all of their pics on the walls, gimmick items on the walls as well. As we approached the exit door-there was this map with straight pins stuck in it-denoting where folks were from that had been in the shop. To the immediate right of the map-was a sign that stated something about 'we have friends from all over..where are you from?' So-upon looking for a pin to mark our location-there was a red box that was directly under the sign. I ASSUMED it was the box of pins...so I pushed & pulled the lever-(like a toothpick holder?). Needless to say..within in a split second-the FIRE ALARMS began ringing throughout ALL of John's Pass..in EVERY store, restaurant, etc. There's at least 75-100 businesses in the Pass!!!! Lasted for 25 min before the police, fire trucks arrived. I was questioned as to why I pulled it & once the firemen talked to me-they assured me it 'happens all of the time' Good grief, was I embarrassed!! Just had to share with y'all! AND..I am not a REAL blonde either..I pay good $$$ to be this way. LOL! I told Ernie that there's nothing I wouldn't do, to assure he had an exciting Father's Day!
