What a wecome!

It was a welcoming party for our friend from Japan. He was to meet many of our faculty and staff at a party at the President’s house. There was food, a bar, a jazz band populated by at least two of our faculty, and a splendid party atmosphere. It was fun!

We knew that our guest of honor was to receive an important phone call sometimes during the party, and so we were prepared in case the phone rang.

There were so many people! More than 50 in attendance, and the good times did roll.

Our Vice President for Development and his wife were there, and because she needed to, she walked into the bathroom in the front hall and no one was around to see her.

The phone rang suddenly, and it was a call from Japan! A quick number of loud shouts and we found our guest and brought him to the phone which was in the traditional phone place from the old days, in the front hall.

He picked up the phone but was unable to hear. He was making wild hand gestures trying to get the noise to stop but to no avail. Our President looked around and realized that if he could put our guest in the hall washroom, he could hear.

The die was cast!

They had no idea the bathroom was occupied. It only really had a small hook and eye to hold it. They assumed the door was stuck! They pulled, they yanked, they tugged and finally, with one great pull they opened the door!

There, with her hands tightly wrapped around the inside door knob, was the wife of the Vice President, with her pants, her pantyhose and her underwear all sitting around her ankles!

It got very quiet all of a sudden!

Our guest was flabbergasted! He was rushed into the bathroom to speak into the phone as soon as the wife of the Vice President got herself together, quietly in the confines of a closed bathroom.

I don’t believe she stayed very long after that!
