going to admit to the most stupid thing I have ever done in this hobby. Only on the condition that everyone chime in with their stories...I need some humor to ease the embarrassment.
I set up a session with a lady today I have never seen before. Arrived pretty much on time only to find the building engineers knocking on the door I am supposed to be at. They offer to help me find the apartment I am supposed to be looking for. I retreat to the call box and call...she picks up we discuss who they are who I am and why they are knocking at her door. She is becomming uncomfortable. I finally get inside the apartment and put her at ease with all the proper ID and what not. I ask to shower...this is where the story starts to unfold. She gets towels and stuff for me and excuses herself. I strip down and look for a place to put my clothes. No hook or good place so I toss them on the bathroom counter and jump in the shower. I am scrubbing all the parts preparing for what I know is just waiting in the next room. All of a sudden I smell smoke...look up at the ceiling and it appears that smoke is comming form the light fixture. Maybe this is what the engineers wanted to tell the occupant of the apartment. I quickly prepare to get out of the shower and that is when I notice the real poblem.....MY CLOTHES ARE ON FIRE. Lit candles on the bathroom counter. I jump form the shower toss them in the sink with running water and put out the flames....by this time the alarms are going off and the apartment in full of smoke. My lady rushes in to see what all the cursing and hoopla is all about and realizes I am trying to burn her apartment down. She sees that I have everything under control but further inspection reveals I have no clothes. Entire back of shirt is melted onto the pants which has the rear end burned out...tee shirt , socks and underwear is pretty much ashes. Fortunately there was no damage to anything in the apartment.
So what do I do now...she looks at me and ask..do we have fun or do I go shopping for you some clothes. I said we are going to have fun first, which we did and boy did we. It was a miracle I could even get it up. So now I am laying around her apartment in her silk robe (this would make a pretty picture) while she takes my credit card and runs to the mall to shop for me some clothes to wear home.
My true confession....now I need to hear some confessions. BTW I am now know as COWBOYTOO aka THE FIREMAN.
Thank goodness this lady was a real sport and real trooper. What an adventure we will never forget. We talked later today and got a really good laugh from it all.....jeez what a cluster F@@k
