Puke


Saturday night's bachelor party conformed to every basic guideline I have written about these celebrations.

The roster of highlights included:

~ a certain aloofness from some of the passengers to start.

~ a couple of them who are friendly.

~ lack of pacing their drinking, including Jagermeister in the first hour.

~ increasing friendliness towards me from even the most haughty of the guys.

~ losing money at the casino.

~ losing even more money at the strip clubs.

~ being the group's best buddy when I find an open liquor store.

~ vomiting, see below.

~ a sleepy trip home.

~ nice tip. Thanks guys.

The puke happened in the car park at the strip club. Chilling out, finishing their drinks before heading in, I sat at the front reading my book. The "Door Open" annunciator lit up on my panel, so I jumped out to attend. What I saw was a fountain of puke, a literal technicolour yawn pouring from one of the guys. As we decided later, he was a pro, making sure not to spew inside, keeping it down until he could reach the door.

Checking to make sure he was okay, I quickly returned to the front, and reversed up twenty feet or so.

When the groom exited, he said to his buddies:

Hey, there's an extra twenty for Wombat's tip right there. He made sure we didn't have to tread in that shit.

Another feather in my cap.

Yeah. Great.

Wombat said...

You're always so sweet, Sugar :-)

I know. Assengers is about right. Why drinking until you vomit is fun I'll never understand.

You and me both Wombat... I can't count how many blokes I've cleaned up - picked up out of there spew - put to bed - you name it... baby sitting drunks is something I've had a lot of practice with too... but I've done worse things I guess.

It's all relative I spose and the odd times (not often at all these days) I felt the need to go to far with the bottle - I've sorta felt like I'd earned the karma points cleaning others up.

Weird - but true haha ;-)

Wombat said...

Man, with your background, I have no doubt you have done a LOT of that public service :-)

Babysitting drunks...there should be a service medal for blokes like you Mr Belongum.

Yeah, I know what you mean about the drinking karma. I guess my current job is karma biting me on the arse. But...it's one of the great things about having a bit of age under the belt; it allows for some sympathy, some perspective and some clarity in one's own life.

Fancy a drink?

"a literal technicolour yawn"

You make puking sound so fun and hip!

It may have been a nasty time but you sure made it into a great post! Nice work!

Wombat said...

Thank-you Snaf...I think.

I'd hold your hair for you.

Hey Don. Yeah, nasty time, but every day out is another gift to play blogging with. Truth is that I only write about half of the stuff I see and hear, because the other half would give away my identity.

Mons is a mine of great stories, too.

Wombat, you are a pro and very attuned to the typical bachelor party antics.

Wombat said...

Attuned I am, Nitebyrd, not that I'll be adding that to my resume any time soon.

Although on second thoughts, maybe successfully dealing with drunks in the dead of night is a skill worth trumpeting.

Thanks for the nice compliment. I believe one should to the best, no matter how crappy and stupid the job.
