hubba bubba--really funny story

BREAKING NEWS!! Last night, March 3rd, Dwane and the kids and Brielle and I were on our way back from Berlin. We had to change trains in Dessau and just when we got off the first train a guy came up to me and asked where the train came from. I was a little confused because it says right on the board where it comes from but I told him Berlin anyway. He then walked the same direction as us on my right and proceeded to blow a HUGE bubble. While this was amusing in and of itself, the look of abject adoration that Johnmark, who was walking on my left, gave him was even funnier and so I had a good laugh at them both. The guy didn't seem to mind...in fact he was pleased and offered Brielle a piece of "hubba Bubba" gum. Brielle accepted and then he offered me a piece, which I declined politely because I already had a piece of my own. A few seconds later at the bottom of the steps leading to the next platform and to our onward train, I thoughtlessly blew a much smaller bubble with my own gum, merely to enjoy the pleasure of blowing a bubble. This guy quickly grabbed the bubble and then pulled the entire piece of gum out of my mouth! The best, or worst, part is that then he put the gum into his own mouth and chewed vigorously to assimilate it into his own already large wad.

Yes, I was shocked.
Yes, it was hilarious.
I hope you tell your friends =)

Oh, and I almost got attacked by a minature doberman this morning on the way to church...viscious German dogs!
