God has a peculiar sense of humor with me as the punchline.

Today I got to thinking about the odd and disturbing things that happen to me quite often which may seem ironic, strange, coincidental or unintentially funny.

Here are a couple that I remember off the top of my head.

Once, when I was doing on-site computer work, A former co-worker hired me to come to her house and fix some corrupted files on her daughters computer. The PC was on a wicker stand next to small wicker dresser. I set a CD on top of the dresser next to where I was working and all of the sudden the drawer flies out of the dresser and thong panties and bras go everywhere.

I about shit my pants. In a panic, I gathered up all the underwear and went to shove it back into the drawer. The mother walked in just as I had two fist fulls of her daughters unmentionables.

I turned red, started to sweat and quickly tried to explain what happened. The mom just smiled and winked at me then walked out of the room.
...................................................................................................................................
Several years ago I was invited to go to a birthday party for a friend of a friend. The party was at a bar and the person who set up the party had a great plan for the birthday boy. She had bought about 50 pair of miscellaneous panties and after we sang happy birthday we were supposed to throw them at the guest of honor. We stuffed the panties in our pockets. When the time came we shot them like rubber bands at the guy. I had put red cake icing in the crotch of several pair just for added effect. A great time was had by all.

When I was doing laundry a week later, a pair of tiny lace thong panties flew out of the dryer just as my wife and I were about to fold clothes. I picked them up and before she could say anything, I told her about the birthday prank as casually as I could and that I had probably overlooked those. Surprisingly, she didn't give me even an iota of shit over the incident. I didn't let on that my heart had stopped beating for about 3 minutes.
....................................................................................................................................
Back when I was building and selling refurbished PCs I had a friend of mine helping me out with revamping and upgrading old units so I could sell them.

Bryan told me he had one PC ready and since I was on my way to do an install I picked them up on the way to an out of town job. The customer was the owner of the Shop where my father in law worked as a barber. Since the PC was supposedly ready to go, my job consisted of plugging it in turning it on collecting my check and going home.

When I booted up the computer the first thing that popped up on the screen was the background picture of three huge hairy guys standing up against a wall wearing nothing but women's thong underwear. The whole family, grandparents on down to the children were standing there watching this ugly scene go down. With lightning speed I changed the picture to plain blue. Luckily the customer didn't say anything .

I went to test the Internet connection and when I clicked on the Internet explorer the homepage was set to "Horny Cheerleaders" Several pop ups, showing graphic pornography started flashing all over the screen. Grandma's jaw hit the ground and she put her hand over junior's eyes as he struggled to get a better look.

I hit the power button as fast as I could and said this computer must have been infected with a virus. Luckily I had a spare computer in the car that I had set up myself that was devoid of male strippers and porn.

I apologized profusely, and went on my way. I called Bryan on the cell phone and started yelling,"Where the fuck did you get that computer??!!!" "Hmm oh yeah that was the one we used for jacking in our college dorm room." I then asked who were those damn naked fags wearing the thongs on your background picture? "Oh yeah that was when me and my buddies we got drunk and stole some underwear and posed in it for fun."

I asked if it ever occurred to him to take that shit off before he gave me the computer to sell. He responded with: 'Well at least I upgraded the RAM, changed the power supply and removed the gay porn my room mate put on there..."

I don't think it's God that's got it in for you. I think you have friends who love putting you in the hot-seat.

well, look at it this way-lots of people go through their whole lives without even one of these incidents happening to them. At least your life isn't boring!

Only to you would that happen!

I would have died of embarrassment after either event.

I'm sure the mother bought the "I just sat a CD there" excuse...I sure did (wink)!

this is not all that abnormal in the God department, hammer...really, i speak from experience.

once in my twenties when i brought a sweetheart to my parent's for supper - we were visiting in the livingroom (my mother had already decided she WOULD NOT like this guy) when my b.f. acting soooo cool crossed his legs and what should be clinging to the bottom of his pantleg? yup, a pair of my little bikini undies! talk about the excuses that ensued.

another time, i brought a b.f. over for supper and my mother was exclaiming to him that i (meaning me) was such a good cook and surely he'd realized what a good cook i am, when he nervously replied, "yes, you're right - she's the best cook i've ever eaten."

HOLY CRAPPE!

it didn't stop there, hammer - it's still happening! my life is one big "oh boo" moment. sounds like yours is too! my spouse, like yours is an understanding soul - thank the Power that is.

God has the best sense of humor.

I guess you could say you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. I would have liked to seen your wife's face though.

Yes, it's clearly God sense of humor, and you must have a strong one too to notice it when it is there.
I sometimes notice it also, but only when it is not me but someone else.

Do you break out in a sweat when you walk past a Fredrick's of Hollywood store now days?

Back years ago, the place I worked for would pool mechanics and technicians from different stations to do a turbine or compressor overhaul at one location. So, for about 1 month, you had 10-15 guys working overtime, going drinking etc. At the end of the overhaul some guys decided to, as a joke, put some female underwear into their friend's suitcase... They figured he would be unpacking and would not be able to figure out why there's a pair of panties in there.

Well, he was not the one doing the unpacking. His wife DIVORCED him! He tried to get his buddies to talk to her, but she would not believe anything they'd say. Needles to say, he was PISSED at them!

It does make for a funny story, though....

Hilarious. I'd a paid to see all those. One day a secretary out at work clicked on "animal pictures" tryin' to find shots to put on her desk top and all these besiality sites came poppin' up. She freaked, and every time she clicked on one to close it another would pop up. Hilarious.

1) I think your co-worker set you up with the spring-loaded panty drawer.
2) My wife would have been upset that I didn't take her to the birthday party. By now I guess yours has learned how to take you, mine certainly has.
3) I guess you learned to boot the donated computers up in the privacy of your own home to check them out afterwards, right?

Gay porn? Has to be erased to avoid offending folks.
Straight porn? No one would ever be offended by that ... unless of course it was a Janet Jackson nipple shot.

OK, THOSE are a RIOT!!!

Reminds me of when I was trotting out of the L.A. airport when I notice this beautiful man admiring MY beauty. His cerulean gaze pierced my eye as the billowy breeze stroked his glossy black locks of hair that fell into his chiseled face. Everything seemed to be in slow motion as I looked away and blushed at his BLATANT attraction to me. While I've been blissfully married for 10 years now, I have to confess, I appreciate the attention. I mean, when the construction workers stop whistling, it'll be a sad day. As he drew closer, Mr. Charming smiled and chuckled a little. I couldn't resist returning a smile as I took a deep breath, and sighed "Yup, I still got it."

I snapped into reality when my brother asked, "What's wrong with your sunglasses?"
"What?" I replied.
"Your sunglasses…take them off and look at them."
I obeyed only to be horrified that I was walking around WITHOUT ONE OF THE LENSES!!!
