Still Laughing

The SuperBowl was in Detroit this year and living an hour northeast I took interest in the stuff that was going on around the area. One event was the “Celebrity Flag Football game” being held this past Saturday at the Pontiac Silverdome. My son Ryan had received some tickets because our team won the flag football league championship here in the Port Huron area. So we went to the game, there were 10 of us, guys and their girlfriends, my wife and I. So sitting through this terribly lame game we were at about the 50 yard line ten rows up from the field. With about two minutes to go in the game a guy without a shirt comes running across the field through the players and I’m thinking what is this shirtless guy with “I Love Flute” written on his chest doing? Then I realize it is one of the guys that I brought! I almost wet myself with laughter right then. What is worse he climbs into the seats and starts to run up the isle way on which I am seated on the end. As he is running by I say to him “keep running right on by Nick!” which is exactly the wrong thing to say because he stops and hugs me. At that moment I thought that we would get tossed out of the SilverDome into the raging snowstorm, which we didn’t. The only thing that happened (Other than Nick almost getting taken out by one of the players - Cory Redding) was the PA announcer came on and said for everyone to stay in their seats.

I am still laughing.
