Biggest Laugh of The Year: Push Button For Pizza!
The month of December is winding down, and so are the days of Gwen Bell’s Best of ’09 Challenge.
The topic of today is the biggest laugh of the year.
Thinking back, I’ve laughed a lot this year–A good sign! The biggest laugh came in a hotel room in Mississauga, when a group of us were tired and hungry and really needed pizza. We weren’t just regular tired, we were tired to the point of everything being hilarious, where once one person started to laugh, the rest of us caught the giggles and pretty soon had forgotten what we were laughing about.
It all started because we were in a new city, unsure of what number to call for pizza, and who was going to make the call. Being in a hotel is a novelty for us, and using a hotel phone was a bit of a challenge.
What area code were we in?
Do we need to dial the area code?
Is there a phone book….no….that’s not a phone book in the drawer, that’s a Bible! (giggles started)
Finally found the phone book….looked up a number for pizza delivery
did rock paper scissors for who would call and order…..
Ended up ripping page out of the phone book by accident…. (giggles and more giggles)
We taped the page back in (still laughing)
Someone started to dial for pizza, and we noticed that the hotel phone had a button you could press for “Pizza”. (too much laughing)
We were in such a state already, that a “push button for pizza” was enough to send us over the edge. If I recall correctly someone ended up laughing so much they fell off the bed (between the bed and the wall)…which only set us off even more.
I don’t think we ever did order pizza….nobody could get through the whole call without cracking up.
What a night!
