Can Anyone Find a Gas Station? – Page 1

The next morning, we were packed and ready to go. Katie had eaten two full grapefruit, at my request, and we were off to Noah’s house. We arrived at his house, and Noah and Laura proceeded out the front door. They got in the car, in the back, and I asked, “What is she doing here?”

“I’m going too. I never get to have any fun on these adventures, plus I have to keep this guy from using his formula on other women!” Laura stated.

Noah leaned forward and whispered in my ear, “All we have to do is wait. As soon as that one grapefruit wears off Laura will short and we will have a nice quiet ride.” I laughed.

“Katie is also going to help us.”

“How can she help?” Noah asked.

“Well, Kristin and Katie are about the same size; therefore, if Kristin went someplace, Katie can also go there.”

“Clever, Adam.” Noah commented. “But I sure hope we don’t run into any females on the way there, they’ll be running after our car.”

“Right, when is this stuff supposed to lose its effect?”

“Well, it could go at any time, but I suspect sometime tomorrow.”

“Oh. Well, everybody, I hope you enjoy riding, first an airplane then a car, because tomorrow we’ll be going on foot.”

“Ugh.” They muttered. We drove to the airport, boarded a private airplane, and took off for the South American jungle. “Adam, do you think those tails of tribes of Amazon women are true?” Noah asked.

“For your sake Noah, you had better hope not.” I commented back.

“I heard that!” Laura said. The grapefruit had not yet worn off.

We got off the plane, and got into a car I rented long distance. We continued to drive until it got time for lunch. Stopping at a local McDuncans, we got out to eat. Katie and Laura went to the Rest-room while Noah and I went to order.

“Are you sure this is safe?” I asked Noah.

“Safe?”

“What with the formula on us, it my short every female here, except for Laura and Katie.”

“Right, and Laura should go at any time now.”

“Maybe we had better have them order. After my last experience with women in a public place I’m not too eager to repeat it.”

“Good idea. Ooo. Look at that person who’s taking orders. Do me a favor and take Laura out to the car. Katie and I will order.”

“Oh no you don’t. I’ll have Katie and Laura order. We wouldn’t want your whole shirt covered in drool, would we?”

“Not really. You know, I just thought of something.”

“And what would that be?”
