WOW Moment (or as we say FART)
There was a thread on another board I visit wanting to know about everyone's special or best "WOW Moment". Here is the latest one of mine that I posted:
About a month ago my wife called and asked me to pick up our granddaughter from daycare on my way home from work because she had an errand to run.
When I went inside to get her, theowner of the daycare, who we have known for several years, said "May I help you sir?" I said "I'm here to pick up Lindsie."
She looked totally puzzled and said "Pick up Lindsie? Well who are you?"
I then remembered she had not seen me since before my surgery over a year (and 200+ pounds) ago. I had to laugh. "Ummmm - I'm still her Pop!"
She looked at me with a shocked look on her face and said "Oh my Lord! I didn't even recognize you Bob! I'm so sorry! You look like a totally different person! You look great!"
Hehehe . . . now that felt good!
A close second is:
At the gym one day last week a couple of young gals (about 18 to 20 or so) asked me "How old are you?" I asked why they wanted to know. One said "Well, I know you're probably older than my Dad and he's 46." I said "Yep, I am older than your Dad - I'm almost 56." She replied "OMG, AWESOME!" and then said "You're buff!!"
. . . then added, "for an old guy"!!!
Buff?!! BwaHahahahaha!!!!
So what's your latest or best FART?

Those are two great farts. You're buff for an old guy is about as good as it's gonna get for us old fellers I'd imagine. I don't get many any more which is cool. It means people are comfortable with the new me I guess.
The closest I have had lately is I ran in to a woman last month who grew up in my hometown and is married to a guy I used to coach with from '83 to'91. My wife and I were good friends with her husband and her during this time, but we live 200 miles apart now and don't see much of each other any more. Anyway, about 10 minutes into the catching up with each other conversation she says, "Fish you have lost some weight since the last time I saw you. How'd you do it?" I told her yeah, about 200 lbs and that I'd had WLS. And that was it. The conversation moved on to other topics of mutual interest.
Our daughters are the same age, were born within a couple of weeks of each other at the same hospital with the same ob/gyn. And then we went separate ways shortly thereafter. In one of those strange coincedences though, they both have chosen the same university and lived their freshman year in the same dorm. So we ran in to them when moving our daughters in to the dorm, which was about 3 months prior to my surgery. So she had a great "before and after" opportunity and I thought it was a little strange that it took her 10 minutes to bring it up. But she is an exceedingly polite woman and probably was wondering what would be the least insulting way to bring it up.

The free man owns himself. He can damage himself with either eating or drinking....... If he does he is certainly a damn fool, and he might possibly be a damned soul; but if he may not, he is not a free man any more than a dog.
Bama,
Way to rock it for "an old guy"!
Did you offer either one of them a mustache ride?
As to best FART's .... too many to limit it to just one. Fitting in a plane seat was a major rush. Wearing the same size clothes I that I graduated HS in. Losing 160 pounds. I will have pics up soon but Red and I met my mother and her BF in Pigeon Forge and got home short time ago. Made trip to Dollywood and dig this - WE RODE ROLLERCOASTERS!! Big ones too!!
