What major historical events do you remember?

Thanks but no thanks, in regards to what historical events I remember. Let’s just say that I’ve seen some things, heard some things, and experienced the fall out from said things… and I’m still trying to unthink much of the ugliness displayed during these so called Historical Things!

I’d love more than anything to hold a list of my favorite historical events worth remembering, but since they have to be things I myself, personally observed… I got nothin!

Based on my understanding of this prompt, the events should be only those I actually remember happening… meaning, only the ones I witnessed, personally.

While I do have a memory like a steel trap, I don’t really feel much like dredging up the past, as I’m struggling to survive our current historical events… sorry, not sorry! I’m full up!

I apologize if this answer seems a bit sharp, but this girl is Hangry, this morning. The only historical event that I want to witness is the kind where a Doctor can doctor with education, skill, and compassion… and, without prostituting themselves to Big Pharma!

Cookie?

If I Recall…

The first thing that came to my mind, trying to remember any Hysterical Events, was when Fabio got hit in the face by a passing bird, while riding a roller coaster in Vegas! That was funny, though I shouldn’t be laughing at another’s expense.

Ummmmm… what else?

ooooh oooooh! I got one, even though it never made the headlines.

When my husband and I first started RVing, we had to learn everything about that lifestyle, right fast and in a hurry! One of the first hurdles was gassing her up… the RV, that is.

I’d parked next to the fuel isle, and began observing my husband park our new home on wheels, in preparation for filling the gas tank. What happened next, was one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen!

I watched my husband step out of the RV and walk toward the fuel pump, only to then watch the RV begin to roll backwards, slowly following him along. He looked up at the RV as it passed him, before realizing it was outpacing him. Turning and running toward the door of the RV, it nearly ran him over as he stumbled frantically inside, just barely reaching the brake peddle before the RV hit the fuel station!

While, in that moment, I hadn’t been laughing, as I was in shock! However, once my brain caught up with my stomach, and realization dawned that the crisis had been averted… I nearly wet my pants laughing, as my husband’s white/red/green colored face reappeared from the RV’s swinging doorway. He took one look at my face through the car window, as I laughed myself silly… and then began to laugh, as well. We laugh about it, to this day!

I know that I’ve written a plethora of stories for everyone, regarding other knee slapping events, deep in the heart of my journey. If you are seriously looking for more hysterical events, my archives are there for your pleasure.

If you were at all wondering, yes, I’m well aware that the prompt asked about Historical Events, not Hysterical ones… I simply can’t come up with anything that wasn’t rather unpleasant to recall. With that in mind, I opted to go with my own goofy twist on things.

Here, have a cookie…
