Well THAT was embarrassing…

As usual I ‘failed open’ about 0400 this morning…  Stumbled into the bathroom, got water for instant coffee and was getting ready to take a shower.  

Next thing I hear is-

tock…
shuffle, scrape…

TOCK…

tock…

shuffle, scrape, slap, slap

TOCK…

okaywhatinthehell???

Now I’m on the THIRD floor of the Hilton in Adelaide, right…


tock…

slap, slap

TOCK…


So I go look out the window, and I see nothing but street.  But I feel a cold draft.  


tock…

shuffle, scrape, slap, slap, slap

“Oh BUGGER”


So I pull the SIDE curtain, and there is a SECOND window!!!

And there is a woman in tennis shorts, with tennis racquet, picking up a tennis ball about three feet from me…

She looks me up and down, smiles, and says, “Sorry love, hope I didn’t wake you!”   And walks off…

And I realize I’m standing there butt naked with a towel over my shoulder… Sigh…

So pro-tip, if you ever stay in the Hilton Adelaide, and end up on the third floor in even numbered rooms, REMEMBER there is a tennis court out your ‘window’…

  1. Lets take a look at today’s news!

    The situation around the Iranian nuclear program has been getting more, and more heated every day. Ahmadinejad threatens to wipe Israel off the face of the earth every time he has the chance to speak. And our relations with our one time best ally Israel has never as cold as it is today. In fact just today it was reported that the White House (and the White House really means Barack Hussein Obama) DECLINED NETANYAHU’S REQUEST TO MEET WITH OBAMA. How’s that my Jewish friends? Still what to vote for this man? Still impressed with him? What this man has done to this country is unforgivable.

    Today Egyptian protesters raided the US Embassy in Cairo, climbed over the gates and tore down OUR flag burned it, and replaced it with a Black Islamist flag to protest a U.S. produced film that they didn’t like! The mob was chanting that our ambassador must leave.

    Is this why Obama took part in overthrowing Hosni Mubarak’s regime?
    Also tonight reports from Libya say that gangs of militants also attacked the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi with rocket-propelled grenades, and stormed the embassy. The United States ambassador to Libya, J. Christopher Stevens, and three other Americans were KILLED! They also protested a Movie film they denounced as blasphemous. They attacked our embassy, shredded our flag, and replaced it with the al Qaeda flag.

    All this over a Movie! Is that why Obama helped to KILL Moammar Gadhafi? Is that why Obama wanted to replace the Libyan Government with the Muslim Brotherhood?

    Thank You to Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Clinton, for what you have accomplished!
    I was always under the impression that TO ATTACK ANOTHER COUNTRY’S EMBASSY IS AN ACT OF WAR.
    Is beheading Americans worse then making a film that is not to their liking?

    And the lefties are very quite over all of this, it seems as if a Pizza maker from a little unknown town in Florida who was took part in a staged a Photo-Op, picking Obama off the floor in a loving hug drew more attention than any of the above. I hope that they are Happy Now!

  2. LOLOLOLOLOLOL…..you have to admit it — even for YOU this was a new experience!!!

    Who would have thought being on the third floor there would be people right outside your window?

    Have a great day – travel safe!

  3. Good Day, indeed. I’ll say this: when you’ve been in SO MANY strange hotel rooms, that you don’t even clear the place for ninjas & emergency Plan-B egress… you might have been on the road a little too much… & no one wants to glimpse the old ‘twig & berries.’

  4. Pax- Shaddap 🙂

    Joey- Definitely NOT what I expected… trust me!

    FD- oh THANK you…

    Julie- You too… 😛

    Russell- I’d done the clear and egress… Just didn’t realize THAT end of the curtain had a window in it!!!

  5. Once a NAVY pilot . . . . . always a NAVY pilot . . . . . 🙂

    It would appear though that your technique could use a little polishin’!!

  6. It’s moments like those that need a 3rd party with a camera and internet connection. You’d be a hit on YouTube!

    😛

  7. Well, also make sure you are warm or had had a good warm shower. Pulling a curtain aside when you are cold can be kind of embarrassing.

  8. Just got a mental picture of you naked while drinking my coffee at 5am.

    Thanks for that. My day can only get better now.

  9. Laura/PH- Shaddap… 🙂

    Gerry- At least there were NO pics!

    AGirl- you too! 😛

    Tim- BAD!!! 🙂

    eia- True… sigh

    Suz- see above… 😛

    WSF- At least not in my face!

    Wing- Or she was blind! 🙂

    Rick- good ‘point’…

    Crucis- Stop… DO NOT go there…LOL

    CP- yeah!

    Robert- Probably screaming on the inside the whole time!!!

    MSgt- Good, and least you can only go UP… 🙂

  10. LOL. That scenario lends itself to SO many witty comments…few of which are appropriate for posting here. 🙂

  11. Actually, it sounds like the beginning to a bad letter to Penthouse.

    “I never thought this would happen to me but no shit, there I was..”

    Thus combining the standard openings of a sea story with the adult stories.

  12. Hmmm. When I stayed at that hotel in April of this year, I didn’t see the tennis court, I was on the 7th floor looking toward the bay, overlooking the roof of the food market next door.
    Did you make it to Rundle Mall while there?
    Mmmmmm. Bundy and Coke. Drink of the Devil!
