Soup Story

Hi Lovees

Ok - this happened about 1 1/2 years ago. Helen is one of my best friends and she still loves me. At the time I was on a medication that made me cough uncontrollably; and, I didn't know why I was coughing so much. Here's my story:

Late one Saturday prime rib night, about 10 of us employees were standing around the bar and we were behind the bar. My friend Helen was telling us something her son did that really made her mad. She was ranting on and on about him - I was standing in front of her eating a cup of vegetable beef soup. It was really good. I was about 8 inches away from her.

In Helen's mid sentence, I had a mouthful of vegetable beef soup and all of a sudden I let out a huge COUGH! Soup flew out of my mouth and right into Helen's face. It looked like vomit!

As I stood there stunned - Helen (a christian) had a WTF look on her face, wiped a clump off with her hands, looked at it and yelled "IT'S SOUP" - and, as I was falling to the floor laughing uncontrollably, she yelled "Lucy, I'm gonna get you"!!

I literally could not get out from behind the bar because I was laughing soooo hard my stomache was hurting....

All the cooks and servers that witnessed the whole thing were laughing and trying to help me off the floor while Helen was trying to get a cloth to clean her face off....

As I was helped up I ran into the kitchen with Helen following me and she started laughing uncontrollably.

Do you know how you laugh so hard you cant stop for hours - well, I had tables I had to tend to. As I was waiting on them, I tried to hold back my laughter but really couldnt. I'm pretty sure they all had heard the fiasco at the bar.

My one table left me a 50% tip that night.

And, to this day - Helen and I always talk about our soup incident.....
