Wife of the Segway Stealer

Well after Princess and I left DH at his conference, we so kindly offered to load up his bags of goodies and carry them in the stroller back across the street for him. He said he would be right behind us. After about an hour I had to send him a text to tell him the absolute latest I needed him there for me to get to my massage. He walks in about 10 minutes before I have to go down with a silly look on his face. All he could say was, "there's a story...give me a second...there's a story." He stayed at the convention to look for one of the guys that attended with him to arrange dinner plans for the evening. He found him at a vendor booth surrounded by approximately 300 visitors. DH was unable to reach his friend as he was a little behind him but DH thought he would wait and stay while they gave away the door prizes. The gave away all the cash prizes and all that was left was the Segway. Well, the stipulation was that you had to be present and wearing this GOD awful orange vendor tshirt you received earlier in the day (remember where DH's is? In the stroller..._) Anyway, they call out the company name first.........then they call DH's name. He immediately squats to the ground and begins to look around. There is a guy in front on him with his shirt on his shoulder that gives it to DH. As DH starts putting the shirt on and starts walking to the front the company reps begin arguing amongst themselves about whether in fact he had won or not?!?!?!?! DH said, "look, I don't even want the thing if it is going to cause all this trouble." The highest rep said that DH did in fact win the Segway.........Hooray right? Wrong....ALLLLLL of the other participants started ripping their shirts off and pelting DH and the reps in the heads with them. They were cussing them and saying all kinds of things to my DH. I am still in shock after him telling me this story and I'm almost afraid to be seen in public with him. So I head on down to my massage. When I arrive back I learn that he had to go BACK over to the vendor booth (with Princess) to have his picture made with the Segway....luckily he remembered to change into the orange shirt before he left....
So, Yes we are now the proud owners of a Segway (or the cash prize they offered instead!!!) IT was better than gambling!!!!

OMG! Segways rock! When we went to visit my parents over the summer, we rode them on the beach. It was so much fun.
