Marshe, Be careful using books to save chairs! Some low down cheap, lying, no good, rotten, far flushing, snake licking, dirt eating, inbreed, overstuffed, ignorant, blood sucking, dog kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat assed, bug eyed, stiff legged, spotty lipped, worm headed, sack of monkey shit stole my book off the chairs I stumbled down to the pool to save one morning. The story goes something like this; I came to about 4:45 at least I think it was that early. It was still dark. I felt the pounding need to locate a fist full of Ibuprophen and a gallon of water to rinse it down. While I was vertical, I thought I would go down and reserve some chairs at the pool somewhere on the fun side. I didn't want to use the red hotel towels figuring some yahoo would walk off with them, so I grabbed the closest sacrificial items I could locate by the red sexy light in the room. The plastic shoe box I smuggled the two bottles of fireball down in and my book I had brought with to read on the plane. I found my way down to the pool deposited said items on the two chairs that were left open and went back to bed. When we came back down to occupy said chairs about 9 am, the empty plastic shoe box was there, but the book had vanished. Thankfully it was not occupied by anyone else's junk or person. So someone is down there wondering who in the hell Jon Taffer is and why is he obsessed with failing Bars? The folks next to us that day lost a pair of flip flops also, so the running joke the rest of the week was to keep an eye out for a dude wearing white Adidas flip flops reading a book. We were going to administer some vigilante justice! I am thinking the clear plastic shoe box with a fake scorpion or tarantula inside would work for a decent chair saving device though. Maybe a nice set of framed signs that says "She's topless and wears a thong" and "He's with Her" might be good ice breakers to save seats that would get good neighbors. Now that we can use phones and tablets the whole flight I probably will just stick to audio books.
You can just print this and read it on vacation . Wondering when the chair thing was going to hi jack another thread,,, Well done :xyxthumbs:
Your welcome Donald....it was time for a chair saving thread! (I will be at the sexy pool in 5 days and gotta get my gameface on) And you complain about TBT....and it is Thursday. So I covertly hi-jacked (think of it as a pregame pep talk for ppl heading to TTR)
I don't knit but I enjoy a good yarn After reading your replies, I have decided to forgo the books and my shoe collection and just rock up with a Bubba cup and a portable sun chair!
Even though you don't like the Kindle, perhaps you should get one just for when you travel. With the number of pages you are going through, an E-reader may be the only option for an extended vacation.
Reserving chairs 4+ hours before you intend to use them for the first time of the day...something just doesn't seem right with that.
