Oh yea!!!

Picture this, Southern tip of South Padre Island, just leaving the restaurant when dufuss proclaims "my lips feel funny". We get in the van, me driving, and before we can get to the causeway he is ballooning big time, his lips looked like the fat lip scene from Eddy Murphy's "Nutty Professor".

Anyone who knows the causeway coming off S. Padre knows it climbs and turns at the same time. Now I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. The harder I laugh the faster I drive and the more I tear up, causing my eyes to slam shut. We make it across the causeway without crashing, so now I'm laughing even harder, one of my passengers has started taking pictures, so the laughing continues.

I was driving well over 100 mph, trying to get this guy to the hospital in Brownsville, something like 35 miles away, just laughing my a$$ off. There is no way I would have been able to convince a trooper that I hadn't been drinking if we'd have been stopped (truth is I only had Coke with chow, no alcohol at all that day).

Best part was, once we get him to the hospital, the lead nurse comes out to triage him, takes one look at him and she's laughing hard enough to draw tears too!!!

Durn tooting I was laughing at him.
