In the middle of "one of those things"

Ok, so I am wrapping up a really busy friday. Football started yesterday and I juggled radio interviews and signing people up all day. I headed to the airport to get on a plane to vegas. Plane was leaving at 5:30. I had a radio segment in west palm at 4:45 so I did it in the parking lot of the airport and headed inside. Security took longer than normal so as I exited security at 5:15 I had a choice to make. Get on the plane thirsty or try and rush over to the airport sonic for a route 44 cherry sprite. I am a gambler so I thought I would risk getting a middle seat on the plane to get something to drink for the 3 hour flight. Here is where it gets sticky.. I got my drink at 5:19 and ran to the gate. They were boarding the "b"s so it was going to be close. I juggled my cell phone, a book and my drink down the jetway along with my luggage. I thought to myself,"slow down, you are here" and headed onto the plane to get a good seat. About the 3rd row, my roll on luggage gets snagged on a womans leg. As I swing around to free it, I lose control of my sprite , everything goes into slow motion mode and I accidently throw my sprite into the air. As it is spinning out of control towards the head of the lady in row 3, I do my best jerry rice impression and go diving on the lady in row 3 hoping this will end like the hundreds on cartoons I have seen where the disaster is divirted by some quick thinking and a really athletic move! I reach to grab the route 44 drink out of the air and I forgot the most important skill all good receivers have... Soft hands. The sprite cup crushes into itself and red syrup flyes in the air like a water balloon some fat kid had just crushed. Most of the cherry sprite went on my pants and down my leg with only 4 or 5 cups and 2 of the 6 cherries from the drink hitting the woman. As I climb out of her sprite soaked lap, I turn to her and said " it just doesn't feel like sorry is going to be enough. " She looked at me in shock and yelled" does anyone have a f@#"-ng towel!! Surprisingly, along with doing away with peanuts on most flights, southwest doesn't have a lot of beach towels laying around for sonic disasters. After holding up all of the "b"s and "c"s to dry up the seats, I couldn't see any benefit to sitting in the seat I had just soaked next to the lady I had thrown sprite on. I had used her right breast to leverage myself out of her lap and I just felt there was too much history there to spend the next 3 hours rehashing my mistake. I continued down the plane until I could no longer hear her cussing me to her drunk boyfriend and took my seat by the window. You know, you really haven't flown until you have experienced the 6 stages of liquid to sticky goo all at 30,000 feet. As I am starting to really stick to everything around me, a couple of 50 something vegas bound party girls sit next to me. As I am wrapping up my preflight stuff, I hear one of the girls say to the other " I think this guy sitting next to me pissed his pants. " This is not a good start. I explain to them what happened but I am not sure they bought it. We had a good start to the season yesterday and I am hoping for a huge weekend!! Hope this all was a good sign. The flight attendant just asked what I will be drinking... Think I will have water.

Now is a great time to get signed up if you are betting the games and/or heading to vegas. We normally kill september!!!

Have a great weekend!
