I sometimes have these Mayberry Moments and usually have nobody to share them with. These two in particular happened to me over the past year and I found them hilarious. Of course, I'm the only one laughing when they occur. I live in the Boston area.
First, a group of friends called to get together for food and beverages over the holidays. We were about 8 guys that use to work together. Anyway, after we ate and drank a little, they all decide we're going bowling down the street from where we were dining. I grew up near candlepin lanes and bowled often but this was ten pin with the big balls and I hadn't bowled ten pin in over a decade. Anyway, after being a little rusty in my first string, I try the Howard Sprague approach. Don't I throw 5 or 6 strikes in a row, finish the string with around a 170? I'm yelling "I'm Howard Sprague" and they're looking at me saying, "What the heck is he talking about?" Second, this was one of those "had to be there" moments. I took the wife and kids on a cruise to Bermuda this past summer. We docked in Bermuda for three days. To get to the beaches, we had to jump on a bus. So while stopped at a red light, I look out the window to see three or four guys sitting outside a convenient store who looked pretty roughed up. I felt like standing up on the bus and yelling, "Anyone want to buy a ship in a bottle?" Has anyone out there had any Mayberry Moments lately?
