Embarrassing Acts
Posted: Fri Dec 03, 2004 6:16 pm
When I was 12 a family friend took my little brother and me fishing in wisconson for a long 4 day weekend. We stayed in a small cabin that his Uncle owned about 3 blocks away from a lake. The first day we caught lots of fish, mostly lake perch (I don't like fish much, but these were rather tasty). The second day not so many fish. So we were forced to eat the food that was left in the cabin. After several minutes of looking at our choices my brother and I decided on the canned Hormel Chilli over the spam. Note: my mother cooked everything pretty much from scratch. I don't think either of us had ever had canned chilli.
The next day we hit the lake around 5AM. We were determined to catch enough fish for dinner that night. After about four hours on the boat my stomach began to rumble. Like someone had mentioned earlier in this thread- not the I'm hungry stomach rumble, but the I have to find the nearest bathroom now stomach rumble. Being 12 I was too embarrassed to say that I had to go to the bathroom, so I did what most 12 year olds do- I whined that I wanted to stop fishing and to head in. Our family friend would have none of that. He refused to stop fishing and in true older guy trying to teach younger guy a lesson fashion he became more determined to fish for even longer. Apparently my brother felt the same way about going in, but decided to keep his mouth shut. So around noon, after 7 hours on the boat, our host decides that it's time to stop for the day. Now I've had to go for about 3 hours. We had rented one of those 10 foot flat bottomed john boats, so we were able to troll the boat directly on to the beach. Before the boat stopped moving my brother and I had already jumped out of it and were fast running the three blocks to the cabin, each with one hand on our respective asses. The hands helped, but did little to prevent the ensuing chocolate flood as we managed to leave behind a trail of shit that followed us from the beach to the cabin bathroom. Being a little older and faster I beat my brother to the only bathroom. I managed to clean myself up a little bit and pretend that I did not just shit my pants. I threw away my underwear and shorts and wanted to pretend the whole thing never happened. My brother, fearing that our mother would be angry, decided to put his dirty clothes in the back of the 100 degree station wagon. We had to drive half way home with the windows rolled down. Fuck Hormel Chilli.
