I was practicing my use of vocabulary words when I wrote this story.
One day, my friend Jaime came up to my house and said,
"I have great news! The Blue Collar Comedy tour will be doing a show in Vevay," she said.
"No way, are you serious?" I asked her.
"Yes, they are. We need to go as this will NOT be broadcast on TV or the Internet. Jeff Foxworthy is quite the luddite when it comes to technology," she said. So we got dressed up in dishabile clothes (similar to what Larry the Cable Guy wears), packed the best snacks we had, and got ready. I sat up front with her and we were making music jokes like we do for fun in the car.
"Did you know that Kid Rock beats both paper and scissors?" I asked her.
"That was pretty puerile," Jaime said.
"Yeah, like your jokes any better," I told her. After that, she asked me if I had read the most recent book in the Percy Jackson series.
"Yes, I found it to be quite insipid. That Luke kid is such a quizling, bertraying Percy and stealing the gold as if he was some of greenhorn," I said.
"I didn't like it either, the message was so didactic as well," Jaime said. We talked about all the rest of the books in the series and how much better they were until finally we arrived at the park where we saw Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable Guy, and Bill Engvall standing on stage. They performed all their really funny jokes from classics like "you might be a redneck if..." to newer material I'd never heard before. Jaime and I were sitting there laughing. But then Larry the Cable guy said,
"Who would like to come up and be my assistant for this next joke. Any volunteers?". I raised my hand almost instantly. Larry pointed to me and said,
"Come on up here,". I was so starstruck.
"I'm actually going to be doing a sketch with Larry the Cable Guy. I hope I'm not being hornswaggled," I nervously thought to myself. I got on stage feeling so incredible happy. Larry and I went backstage and discussed want he wants me to do.
"I will whistle when it's time for you to come on stage. When it's time, I want you to come out and start dancing. Do the most crazy dance you can think of," Larry whispered to me. I nodded in my head as I was too excited to talk. I could hear Jeff doing his redneck routine and everyone was laughing. I was sitting in the chair listening to the noisome laughter when all of a sudden, Larry whistled. After that, I could hear music playing. I came out on stage and started doing the most hilarious factitious dance I could think of, everyone in the audience started cheering. I could even hear a little boy say,
"Go dancing redhead kid!". I chuckled at the boy's cute little malapropism. After dancing, I sat back down and enjoyed rest of the show, feeling proud at what I had just done.
"That was SO funny!" Jaime said.
"You know what I say, git R down, on the dance floor that is," I told Jaime and we both started laughing.
