RE: A Batty Encounter
Hello; Your post reminds me of when I was a taxi diriver, in the 60's; I got a call to go to the local military base to pick up some dignitaries to take them to a fancy dress up ball. When I got there I could see 6 or 7 people with strapless gowns and all the fancy military uniforms trying to smack the bat out of the air with their riding crops and drill canes. At the time, I had never seen such a ridiculous scene, and it collapsed me with laughter. By the time they came out, the ladies were a little the worse for wear, with their hair falling down and the make up running from laughter, and the men were all exhausted and out of breath, and a bit disshevelled from the chase. It still makes me smile to think of that night.
