I can't help but laugh hystarically while I type this. This is a funny story guys. Anya, Larry, Jim and I were playing Phase 10 when we got the call -- time for dinner. We had just dealt another hand (I don't mind telling you I was getting trounced--total sewage for cards--and dinner seemed like the perfect relief). All the cards went face down and we decided to return after dinner to finish the game (much to my distain). Off we all went.
Side note people---our rooms lock from outside with a key. Larry is the keymaster (appointed by Jim). I'll say it again Larry is the Keymaster. Did you guys get it??? Okay. Hold on to your shorts---here we go...........
Dinner plates flying...Oh the pasta tonight is delicious (minus the meat--not a fan), veges, bread, and cookies wooohooo my favorite. Jim's taking a while so we pray and get on with---yum. Dinner is done now and more people have arrived---hmmmm where is Jim???? Larry said he's on "his throne". Taking a while.....Hmmmm???? More people come and we are engaged in serious conversation. Where is Jim??? What on earth is taking so long???? We have finished out meal, our dessert, and our tea. Still, NO JIM????? Others continue to arrive---more conversation. Where is JIM????
Finally Jim-----what the heck? Come to find out. Keymaster had locked Jim in their room. He tried to call Anya (she was with us...no phone). He tried to call Jenny in the USA (no answer). Finally he heard someone in the hall.... KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK--HELP ME!!!!!! The faceless rescuer went for a key.
Jim gave "SKIPPER"/Keymaster quite the look upon entry. Told his story and laughter erupted around the table...dinner was served---to JIM.
The funniest part about all this is we all had this conversation about 2 weeks ago....what if?....Jim talked about tying sheets together and pulling a Rapunzel if need be. Dang it!
Larry and I are still laughing!!!! At this time, we do not know where Jim is.
