CLASS "C" MOTORHOME

WRITTEN BY REX

WE GOT THE CLASS "C" MOTORHOME PICKED UP FIRST THING THIS MORNING. IT'S A 25 FOOT WINNEBAGO BUILT ON A CHEVY CHASSIS. IT HAS THE DOUBLE BUNK UP OVER THE CAB, A DOUBLE BED IN BACK, AND THE TABLE TURNS INTO A BED, SLEEPING 5 EASILY. IT INCLUDES GENERATOR, STOVE, A/C, FURNACE, AND MICROWAVE.
THE TRIP TO THE AIRPORT, IN THE RENTED RV, TO PICK-UP AIM AND FAMILY WAS HAIR RAISING. PICTURE THIS I'M DRIVING AND MARY IS CO-PILOT, OR MAYBE AS WE USED TO CALL IT, IN THE SUICIDE SEAT?

ANYWAY WERE DOING THOSE LANE CHANGES AND STRAINING OUR EYE BALLS TO READ THOSE BIG HUGH GREEN SIGNS FOR "ARRIVALS"............. SUDDENLY THERE IS A THUD ON THE ROOF AND THE SIGN DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF US SAYS 7 FOOT CLEARANCE.....AH........ THE STICKER ON THE WINDSHIELD SAYS WE'RE 12 TALL...............

.THERE IS A LINE OF CABS WHICH WE CUT INTO, AND A SIGN, "NO PRIVATE VEHICLE'S BEYOND THIS POINT", WELL WE CUT OUT OF THAT LINE AND NOW WERE IN A LINE OF LIMOS?

AMY CALLS ON THE CELL AND WE TELL HER TO HEAD FOR THE LIMO PICK-UP. A VERY NICE UNIFORMED LIMO DRIVER STEPS BACK AND EXPLAINS THAT IF THE POLICE SHOW UP WE'RE GETTING A TICKET FOR $150 (NO WARNING). SO WE WHIP THE RV AROUND THE CORNER AND IMMEDIATELY WE'RE CONFRONTED BYE A SUPERVISOR, HE'S TELLING US WHEN THE POLICE GET HERE........
NOW WE'RE PLAYING DUMB ASS TOURISTS WITH AN ISSUE WITH OUR 12 FOOT CLEARANCE, AND FRANTICALLY SEARCHING THE CROWD FOR AMY AND FAMILY.....AH, THERE THEY ARE, AND NOW WE'RE DOING THE CHINESE FIRE DRILL ROUTINE THROWING BAGS AND GRANDSONS INTO THE RV AS FAST AS POSSIBLE, AND SUCCESSFULLY MAKE OUR ESCAPE FROM THE LAS VEGAS AIRPORT.
THIS EVENING WE PULLED OUR OLE TRICK OF GRILLED PIZZA, AND CURRENTLY DANIEL IS IN A TEXAS HOLD'EM TOURNAMENT IN THE CLUB HOUSE OF THE RV PARK. AMY HAS A COLLEGE FRIEND FROM IOWA VISITING AND EDDIE, THE #2 GRANDSON IS PASSED OUT ON THE FLOOR IN OUR CAMPER. WITH GOOD LUCK LIKE THIS, MAYBE I SHOULD FIND A CRAPS GAME?

TUNE IN TOMORROW
