It was great meeting all of you, and Mike I'm just glad you were able to walk out of the bank on Saturday morning!
C'mon someone tell the story...Jonathan....you can do it! :lol:
I'll go ahead and share the story, not that I don't trust Jonathan to handily make a fool of me...
Jonathan and I teamed up for the Poker Run and were incorrectly following the first clue to the wrong location. I was navigating. I walked into a bank in historic downtown Columbus, thinking that maybe an employee inside would be wearing a Fall Foliage shirt and would have a Poker Card for us to collect. (I misunderstood how the game worked.) Jonathan kept mumbling something about "There's no 914 here, so we can move on..." But, I was too caught up in the game, so I totally blew off his advice.
I walked all around the bank lobby looking at every employee. Then I approached the counter and said, "Does the bank have anything to give me?" Nervously, the employees, who were all elderly ladies, looked at each other and then back at me. (I can imagine one of them quickly tapping some "alert!" button under the counter.) I continued "Is anyone here wearing the shirt? I'm with the car group and this is one of our stops."
"We don't know what you're talking about, sir," one finally said.
They seemed very relieved when this answer satisfied me.
"Allright, maybe the next stop will have something for us," I said. We left the bank and then Jonathan pointed out how absurd everything I said and did was. He said, "Maybe I should drive
and navigate." But once again, I was too caught up in finding the next location to take him seriously...
Now see, that wasn't too bad, was it?
