What Are The Odds?

This is a true story. It's not my story, but it is way too funny not to tell.

Saturday my two daughters and son-in-law got to go to the Kentucky Derby. Elizabeth lives in Louisville and Steph is three hours away.

As they arrive and enter the track they decided they would stop and go potty before moving on to their seats. The only available option was a Porta-Potty. So Steph steps in and goes about her business. While straightening up her garments she DROPS HER PURSE INTO THE POT. I will wait a few moments while you respond with your yucks and eeeeewwwwws...............got it out? Yes, you read that correctly. Steph dropped her clutch into the only hole in the Porta-Potty. And I quote "Mom, there was a turd floating right next to it."

She said she reacted quick enough to get one little corner of the bag that had not become immersed and fished it out. (the bag, not the turd) She retrieved her debit card, drivers license and cell phone. She said she left everything else, like the bag, her cash and her make up laying there.

After hand sanitizing the heck out of the rescued items. They proceeded to their seats only to realize that the other half of her ticket was needed to enter into their seating area. And of course hers was kind of crappy. She had to humble herself and explain to a security guard what had happened. Fortunately, Elizabeth had seat 52 and Rob had seat 54 so the guard was a little more understanding. She had to be escorted to her seat by security and was told that she could not leave her seat because she would not be allowed to re-enter.

So the moral of this story. If you are ever at Churchill Downs and see a cute clutch just laying on the ground with a $5 bill sticking out of it, LEAVE IT ....just let it alone and walk away.
