SO WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT SKIING UNTIL SOMEBODY SAID "HEY SHUT UP AND DEAL" SO I DEALT MYSELF ANOTHER LOSING HAND---AND SINCE MY LUCK WAS RUNNING SO BAD I QUIT THAT GAME WITH WHAT I HAD AND ME MY FRIEND STARTED MAKING TRAVELIN PLANS 3 WELL HE PICKED ME UP ABOUT HALF PAST 3 THIS FELLA LOOKED UWFUL STRANGE TO ME HE WORE TIGHT PANTS AND YELLOW PLASTIC SHOES HE HAD A PURPLE SWEATER AND A FUNNY HAT ADVERTISING SKIS AND STUFF LIKE THAT WITH A PAIR OF SUNGLASSES RED WHITE AND BLUE 4. WELL I WOUND UP WITH A CASE OF THE BLUES WHEN THEY TOOK MY MONEY AND TOOK MY SHOES SHOVED INTO BOOTS AND SAID "HOW ARE THOSE" WELL I COULDN'T TALK CAUSE THEY HURT SO BAD AND THEY ALL SMILED CAUSE THEY WERRE GLAD AS I WAS LOSING THE FEELIN IN MY TOES 5. WELL HE PUT ON MY SKIS AND HE PUT ON MINE AND WE SLID ON OVER AND STOOD IN LINE BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS HANGING IN A MOVIN CHAIR IT WAS SNOWING SO BAD I COULDN'T SEE AND HE SAYS "BOY IT LOOKS GOOD TO ME" WELL I KNEW HE WAS CRAZY BUT IC OULDN'T GET OUT OF THERE 6 WHEN WE GOT TO THE TOP THE HILL WAS STEEP AND I FELL IN SNOW 4 FEET DEEP WHEN I COULDN'T GET UP I THOUGHT I'VE HAD MY FILL SO I SAID TO MY PAL "WON"T YOU HELP ME PLEASE" HE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT BENDING MY KNEES AND WHEN I LOOKED UP HE WAS HEADIN ON DOWN THE HILL 7.
