Embellishments

I get to go home in 4.1 days!  Let the countdown begin!

Today’s Exploit:

Yesterday I got to the wonderful Corpus Christi rig. Since arriving I have met three new people. I have also spent nearly two hours with each listening to their life’s story. Mostly they narrated the stories very badly; therefore the stories were amazingly dull. One, however, came up with some amazing stories. So amazing that I’m not sure I believe them.

For example, He fell from four stories, while in the Navy, and shattered his leg and nearly had to amputate. Now it is made of plastic and titanium. In order to get it fixed his sister called the guy who sold the life insurance policy to the Buffalo Bills and he talked to their lead medic. When the Navy wouldn’t pay to have the experimental surgery, the Buffalo Bills owner sent his entire medical staff to perform the procedure.

Next he began managing restaurants. After increasing the income for a particular pizza place he was offered a managerial position for a four star place in a tropical location. Here he met and catered a party for a very well known basketball player, while ogling Catherine Zeta-Jones. From there he moved to Italy, Greece, and Austria.

After all these prestigious positions, he decided to quit and get his Associates and start working in the oil industry.

I am not sure what to think…
