A funny story about my Mr B.

This week I was asked to put together a tribute for my husband. They honor all the April birthdays at the first of each month at work.

(This is him a couple years ago, before a baptism at our church, when he was bishop.)

I was asked to provide some pictures of him growing up along with a series of questions . One was to be a funny story. His funny story follows:-) Hee... Hee!

One of the funniest things happened during a seminar for some church employees in California. We all stayed at the Residence Inn in Ontario, which at that time, was his home away from home for part of each month.

The first night in the clubhouse, our friend Ron teasingly said to me, "See that lady (Jan) over there talking to Mr B? That is his girlfriend when he is here in Cal."

I said, Yeah right!" and laughed it off. I knew my man and I knew the pranksters they all were...

Then as we were leaving the club house as a group, Jan happened to be in the hallway and I decided to get back at Ron... and said, " I heard you and my husband have ‘something’ going on when he stays here! I would appreciate you knowing he is a married man and has a family and I would appreciate you staying away from him."

I kept such a straight face... Ron and our friend Mike about lost it! Mr. B was stunned to say the least!

This poor sweet lady’s face...was something I will never forget. Shock & embarrassment. She turned pale white and started to stammer something...

Ron and Mike tried to cover it up explaining as fast as they could, then they plain lost it and started to laugh hysterically. It was probably a moment she will never forget. Nor any of us, including poor Mr B.!

Jan was a marketing director for Marriott and wanted to get back at Ron with some sweet revenge.

The next day she asked Mr B. and I to come to her office. She had connections at the local Nordstroms and called them and asked, if we could borrow a mannequin in exchange for a couple free night room rentals at the Residence Inn. The answer was sure!

When the three of us arrived at the store that evening, we were taken in the back, and came out with a gorgeous lady, named Ingrid.

We couldn’t get her in Jan’s jeep without first unscrewing her body at the waist. I will NEVER forget the looks on people faces in the other vehicles as we were driving down the Los Angeles freeway with Mr B in the back seat, holding this naked woman on his lap with a silly grin on his face.

Yes, I am laughing just remembering. It was such a hoot!

Nor.... the faces of the guests at the Residence Inn as Mr B. screwed her back together and was carrying her though the village to invade Ron’s room and bed, with Jan’s master key!

Jan had brought lingerie and high heels from home, and brought in a hotel complimentary honeymoon basket with wine and wine glasses which was left by Ron’s bed. Ingrid was laying in the bed with a long stemmed red rose in her mouth.
Other romantic items led a trail from the front door to the bed. She/we did it up good! The ambiance of the room looked great.

We all waited in a nonchalant group outside Ron’s unit to see his face after he found Ingrid, that evening after dinner. He looked white as a sheet and so surprised when he came out and whispered loudly , "There’s a woman in my bed!" as he checked his room number with his key.

It was Priceless!

Oh my, the fun happened all week long as Ingrid made rounds to surprise people. The maid about had a heart attack when she opened the closet door and saw Ingrid standing there in a nightie. Mike kept wearing her wig to cover his bald head.

We had such fun laughing all week long!:-)

It is even funnier because Mr B. is one of the most dignified, articulate, intelligent, spiritual and kindest person you'd ever want to meet. He is so true blue. And all of this is so UNLIKE him.

Here are 2 of his handsome pictures when he was little:-)

Enjoy a fabulous weekend!

Love, Beth
