You Just Had to Be There...or...The Rest of the Story!

If you didn't read my "Urine Cups and Ramen Noodles", then you really need to read that first for this one to make any sense.

My poor friend Carol reminded me that I didn't tell the whole story, and it's just too good not to cover it. I completely forgot about the fact that she had spread Crisco all over her body and was out sunbathing...yes that's how we did it in the 80's...we put oil all over our bodies and let the sun scorch us to death. Anyway, she was head to toe in the stuff when she got the news that she had two hours to get to campus with a sterile urine cup. Have you ever tried to get Crisco off your body? Well, if you've never had the opportunity to do that, you are missing out. It does not come off easily. So, here she is trying desperately to 'clean up' for this interview and then trying to find a urine cup. This was also before you could find a Walgreens or CVS on every street corner.

Ahh...the memory of that day really makes me smile!

Blessings,
Penny

  1. we always tanned with baby oil mixed with iodine. SO I don't know if we really got a tan or if it was the iodine adding color.
