Mexico part 0

On our way to Mexico we went through Dallas Ft. Worth and had a 6 hour layover. We decided to explore the downtown area. But first, inside the airport, we found the world's largest wishbone. I pulled one side and Kasie pulled the other. As you know, the winner is the one who ends up with the larger portion. As you might imagine, due to my superhuman strength, I won. However, the sheer weight of the thing was too much for me and crushed my spleen as well as many other internal organs and I died. Luckily, my wish with my dying breath was that if I was crushed to death at any point during the day that I would be magically healed, so it worked out fine and we were on our way.

We took a $50 taxi downtown to see the sights. Unfortunately, we could have taken a 50 cent bus and made it just as well, but we are dumb and all that cash was weighing heavily in my pocket. Once we got there, we found an amazing herd of the very rare bronze cattle. I began whispering soothingly in the leaders ear so he wouldn't trample us to death. Growing up, I was known as "the cattle whisperer".


You can see that I nearly have him asleep.


Suddenly though, an evil bronze cowboy spurred his horse into action and trampled Kasie!
Note the incredibly real fear in her expression.
I fought valiantly to muscle the brutes into submission, but alas....

There were too many of them and in the end, I was trampled to death, along with my wife. Luckily, thanks to my earlier wishbone wish, I came back to life immediately. Sadly, the wish only covered me and so Kasie was still smushed flat. So how exactly did I have pictures of Kasie for Mexico part 1 in my last post? Ever seen "Weekend at Bernie's"? Enough said.

We then took the 50 cent bus back to the airport. Unfortunately, it was the wrong airport and we were forced because of time to take another $50 taxi to the correct airport. I'm sure there are many lessons to be learned from this post so go back and read the entire thing again unless you hate learning.

  1. The lesson is that if you have a six hour layover, best to just sit and wait patiently for your next flight like the airlines have trained all the normal masses to do.

  2. The lesson is....NEVER schedule a flight that has a 6 hour layover. Pay the extra money for a direct flight or a shorter layover. Highly entertaining! Think of all the memories you'll have of Dallas to share with your grandchildren. My only memory of Dalls is dancing in a cage. Not one to share with the kiddies you know. ;)
