I've never woken up in a strange place. But has anyone else ever woken up convinced you were in a strange place and afraid to turn the light on to find out?

Who would hold the wake so far from the funeral? That's just stupid.

Come on. Hasn't this happened to all of us at one time or another? Anyone?
Bueller?

Another modern air travel story.

Bulwer-Lytton Contest 1985 Grand Panjandrum's Special Award 1985:
"Sheriff Chameleotoptor
sighed with an air of weary sadness, and then turned to Doppelgutt and said 'The Senator must really have been on a bender this time---he
left a party in Cleveland, Ohio, at 11:30 last night, and they found
his car this morning in the smokestack of a British aircraft carrier
in the Formosa Straits.'"

Hmm Amsterdam, well that makes sense.
Being falling down drunk at a funeral (as opposed to a wake) is disrespectful to the other mourners. A mourner who needs assistance to get through a funeral should use baking products. Because of the EU you don't need a passport to travel from London to Amsterdam unlike a trip to Colorado... . Makes perfect sense to me.

I bet he thought the airport ticket counter was a bar. He probably tried to order a drink and the nice people at airline sold him a ticket and showed him to his seat.

I've never been able to get to Amsterdam that easily. In deference to this blog's strict policy, I will not mention the name of the airport.
