Story Time

So this time I thought I'd tell a funny story that happened to one of my friends, I wont name names. Anyways it was just a regular night for all of us trainees, most of us were pretty tired from working and studying all day so we went to bed early. Matt, Rob (not his real name), and myself were sharing a room on this fateful night and all got to bed at a decent hour. I should mention though, that Rob was experiencing Mr. D, diarrhea for the lay person, but I didn't really know how bad he was having it.

The next thing I know it's three in the morning and all I hear is Rob telling Matt that he had pooped his pants while he was sleeping. For some reason this didn't rouse me to much considering that Rob isn't the first person to have had this problem (we all get really desensitized to this sort of thing very quickly). Rob was sleeping right next to me, on a different cot of course, so I decided to wake up fully, and find out how everything went very wrong.

Apparently Rob had not changed out of his dress pants that he wore to the 40Th anniversary party of the Peace Corps The Gambia that afternoon so inevitably when he woke up and had to go his pants got the worst of it. He had washed those and had them in his bag or something, not really sure what happened to those pants. Matt and I were laughing pretty hard by this point, Rob took the whole thing really well, we actually got him laughing about it after a while. He just flipped the mattress over and went back to sleep, not for long though, Mr. D called again, and again, and... again.

Eventually Matt and I just stayed up and Matt read Clockwork Orange to us. This book, which was very weird, the fact that we were all dead tired, and the whole thing with Rob made for a very funny morning. I'd have to say it was one of the funniest things that has happened here so far. I mostly believe this because it wasn't me who had to experience the worst of it on this particular night.

Rob is now fine and doing well. His pride and bowels were wounded but he has since made a full recovery. We still joke about it and its also still very funny. Hope you all enjoyed this edition of "Story Time," I know I did!
