I think Michelle should get back over here and explain to us all how that beetle got in her underpants!!LMAO!! #7836574

Michelle Alton August 10, 2009

Well...I don't rightly know! It was on our daily constitutional around the mile perimeter of the "campus-like" grounds at Bristol-Myers Squibb in Lawrenceville, NJ, probably around 1990...

We were rounding the goose-covered lake when suddenly I felt that creepy, sort of sticky crawling feeling on a tender part...

Must've followed me home...is all I can think of...

Wish I had a better story....

Well there was the time some chewed up gum landed in my panties instead of the toilet bowl....

Or the time I came out of the Ladies' room with the back hem of my skirt stuck in my waist band....

Better? #7836704

Sue Marshall August 10, 2009

ROFLMAO!!
Oh I think that is a pretty good story, Michelle!!
LOL ya killing me here with the chewed up gum in your panties!! bet that was a bit tricky getting that off!
Oh that is classic with the hem of your skirt stuck in your waist band ~ that has happened to me ... a long time ago!
I had a lot of laughs today over this beetle! :-) #7836781

Gina Cormier August 10, 2009

Haven't most women come out of the ladies room with a skirt still stuck in their pantyhose a time or two. Or toilet paper stuck to their shoes dragging it behind them like a ball and chain. I can't really say I have ever had a beetle stuck to my ahhhh....whatsamagigit! BTW...I thought a daily constitutional was after eating alot of fiber!
Where is New Jersey anyway? #7836832

Sue Marshall August 10, 2009

This photo was rated PG when I posted it today!!

LMAO @ daily constitutional that did sound funny huh!
Well I am off to get my beauty sleep and hopefully NOT dream of Beetles in my hair or anywhere on me! :-)
