    Great story. I can just envision the sight. Sorry for the miserable day / night but a trooper you are … no excuse.

    Great story, must have been terrible at the time! Every cloud has a silver lining, in this case for 2 reasons….

    1) You can laugh at yourself and I’m sure it helped you break the ice with people that day.
    2) You were at least wearing decent pajamas.
