The Annapolis Harbor
It was a regular Friday night on the Annapolis waterfront (it's in Maryland, which happens to be in the United States for those of you that don't know it) and I met this REALLY good looking girl after having spent the last half an hour mirroring a guy and his wife who were literally too drunk to figure out how to get back to their sailboat.

Why 'mirroring' you may ask (and no, it had nothing to do with 'miming' them)? The guy kept threatening to hit his wife. Which made the, ahem, 'Gentleman' in me bristle. So we followed them back and forth along the harbor to make sure that didnt happen.

So, this girl starts following my mate and I. She's gorgeous, her name is Samantha and hilarious. So she invites me to a party at her Mother and Father's house. Erm..."the Folks?! are having a shindig and I am invited?"

So my mate and I head down there the next night for the party. Turns out she lives with her folks on an ENORMOUS piece of property (southern Maryland is thoroughbred country) and they raise champion horses. OLD house (over here any house whose birth year starts with a '17..' is old).

So my buddy and I are walking through the house and he spots a collection of cameras. He begins to secret same down his pants. 7 cameras. SEVEN.

We return to the fireside where I had been embroiled in a discussion of how I 'see myself' as an Officer of Marines, representing the US and after a bit, we bid our adieus.

As I am driving home, absolutely STARK raving hammered, my buddy takes one camera after the other out and, flash flashing away, starts snapping my photos as I am doing my best to concentrate on the road.

I subsequently pulled over and made HIM drive my car home!

I NEVER went to another party with that idiot again! Though, in hindsight, I should comment: he was a MUCH better 'drunk driver' than when he was sober.

A fine testament to his driving skills then...
