I'm Surrounded by Idiots

Yes, I realize this is not a nice title. I think the old saying is true, you tend to hang out with people like yourself. As everyone knows I'm am the biggest idiot of all. Strange things are a common place with me, but today's story is dedicated to my friend Del.

On Monday between summer school and fourth grade planning, we went to Burger King to enjoy fine dining, before heading back to school.

So we planned and Del was going to follow me to my house, but he needed to stop for gas. While he was gassing up, Renee called me to let me know I was supposed to meet her and her parents in Frederick for dinner. (They were bringing her back because we only have one car which we'll explain in a future blog.)

Del pulls up next to my car and says I should go on without him because he lost his phone. He was going back to school to look for it.

I got to my house , tried to call Del several times but go no answer,so i left the door unlocked, and left Del a note because I had to go get Renee.

We get home at 8ish and there's Del on our couch. "I couldn't find my phone. It wasn't at school, or in my car, or at Burger King. I think i threw it out."

Yep, that's right. Can you see where this stupidity is headed? If you said to Burger King, where Del would have to ask the manager to go through the trash, have BK employees watching, pointing, and laughing at us from the drive thru window in order to retrieve his lettuce and sesame seed covered phone, you would be correct.

The worst part is that the special sauce had made the phone not ring. he never heard it before its retrieval. He saw it glowing from the bowels of the dumpster. I am happy to report that after airing it out, Del's phone actually works, though I wouldn't recommend ever touching it.
