WE WERE IN A SMALL TOWN I BELIEVE IT WAS CALLED HASLOC ON THE MAIN RIVER.
I HAD TO GO TO ANOTHER FOR SUPPLIES FOR THE COMPANY. I WENT TO THE MOTOR POOL AND GOT A JEEP AND A DRIVER THEN PROCEEDED ON OUR MERRY WAY.
AT THIS POINT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLAIN ABOUT THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE FAMOUS JEEP. JUST BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT AND ALSO BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT ABOUT ELBOW HIGH IS A BAR ABOUT SIX INCHES HIGH THAT IS USED FOR THE BARS HOLDING THE TOP UP. WHEN THE TOP IS DOWN THE BARS INSERT INTO HOLDER. ON THE JEEP WE WERE USING THE TOP HAD BEEN REMOVED AND ALL THAT WAS THERE WAS THIS BAR STICKING UP. IT WASN'T IN THE WAY IT WAS JUST PART OF THE JEEP.
BACK TO THE STORY...MY DRIVER WAS MOVING ABOUT 25 OR 30 MILES PER HOUR AND WE WERE ENJOYING THE RIDE AND THE SIGHTS. SPEAKING OF THE SIGHTS UP AHEAD I NOTICED A VERY SHAPELY AND LOVELY YOUNG GERMAN GIRL WALKING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD. I MENTIONED TO MY DRIVER TO GET AS CLOSE AS HE COULD AS WE PASSED THIS GIRL. MY DRIVER DID JUST AS I HAD ASKED HIM TOO. WITHOUT THINKING OF THE FORCE OF THE MOVING JEEP AND THE GIRL STANDING STILL I LEANED OUT OF THE JEEP AND VERY ACCURATELY CUPPED HER ON THE BOTTOM. WELL THE NEXT FEW SECONDS WERE WILD MY ELBOW WEDGED AGAINST THE BAR BEHIND ME AT THE SAME TIME MY HAND TOUCHED HER PRETTY LITTLE BOTTOM. THE NEXT THING I KNOW I'M ON THE GROUND THE GIRL IS ON TOP OF TRYING TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ME. WHEN MY ELBOW MET THE STEEL BAR THERE WASN'T NO GIVE AND OUT I WENT. I CAN'T SAY I BLAME THE GIRL FOR TRYING TO BREAK MY HEAD. I CERTAINLY DESERVED THAT. MY DRIVER PULLED HER OFF ME AND I TRIED TO APOLOGIZE AS BEST AS I COULD AND I THOUGHT MY DAMM ARM WAS BROKEN.
WE PROCEEDED INTO TOWN AND I CHECKED INTO THE HOSPITAL, BY THIS TIME MY ARM WAS ABOUT THREE TIMES IT'S NORMAL SIZE. IT WASN'T BROKE BUT VERY BADLY SPRAINED, SO I GOT A SLING AND ALSO THE EXPLANATION TO THE DOCTOR WAS AN EXPERIENCE IN ITSELF. THERE WAS NO WAY HE WOULD BELIEVE MY STORY ABOUT THE GIRL. HE JUST GAVE UP AND RELEASED ME SAYING YOU CAN COME UP WITH A BETTER ONE THAN THAT...
I HAVE OFTEN WONDERED IF THAT LOVELY YOUNG WOMEN HAS THE MARK OF MY HAND TO THIS DAY. I'LL NEVER KNOW......
