The funny bunny

Ok, what is so funny about this journey is reading Jed's posts daily (or there about). The way they are presented reminds me of a family dinner we had one year at Thanksgiving.....
Dinner was over, the dessert consumed and dishes done. We had a couple games my daughter brought over. One of them was called "Survivor." Since it was basically a multiple choice game, we all thought we would play, and those of us who are "game challenged" would have at least a small chance of winning a couple rounds. If any of you have played this game, a particular scenerio is read and then the player has a choice of decision A, B, C, etc. You get the idea. Well each time you get a question right, you get to go again. We started around the table. Jed was sleepy, so he did not join us at the table, but rather lay reclined in my husband's Lazy Boy type recliner. Question after question was fired out. We were all duds. You would think that we could get at least one crummy answer right.....but no.....
Then it was Jed's turn. Question #1....correct...Jed, you get to go again. Question #2....correct....Jed, you get to go again. It began to get sickening, he knew the answers to all the stinkin questions! We couldn't stump him. Even the really bizzare hypothetical situations. He always knew what to do! It drove us nuts. We were really hoping he would fall asleep, and just when we thought he was....there would be this pause, and he would answer one of OUR questions. Agh-h-h-h!!!

So now, fast forward to his Facebook posts...he is writing them just like the game cards in that game, but this time, it is really funny. The choices are true to what is really happening on the trip to him. I'm going to put a couple down....

Adventure survival Question # 2....2 snarling pit bulls are running at you. You have 15 seconds to decide what to do:
A. shit yourself
B. turn and run back the way you came
C. quickly climb a tree
D. pull your umbrella off your pack, use it like a shield, yell F---you at the top of your lungs and then get ready to kill with your hands the first one that tries to attack you.

then there's always the short posts....."as I ran past an old man this morning he said, 'son you look like you're on a mission this morning'....I said that I'm on a mission every morning"

and this morning's post....Adventure Science Fact #1...Carpenter ants don't sleep as evidenced by the fact I was sleeping on a superhighway of them last night and they ran across my legs all night. Tiny massaging ant feet. Yess!!!

And so this goofy bunny hops along the bunny trail, and I sign off for now.
