EPIC

Actual conversation between myself and an employee of our fine National Park Service. Tuesday morning. El Morro, New Mexico.

(Ed enters ranger station, notes foul odor.)
Ed: "Pardon me, but something smells awful."
Ranger: "I believe that's you, sir."

(Ed pauses reflectively, concurs.)
Ed: "I see. Well, good day to you."

Like it's my fault I haven't showered in 4 days. And have cumulatively walked about 25 miles in desert heat. Someone offer me a shower and I will gladly take it.

Thanks again to Mike for holding down the fort in my absence. I look forward to getting back this weekend. And showering.

    So it's been a bit embarrassing having to explain to my coworkers why I just burst out laughing and couldn't stop for almost a minute.

    That's impressive unflappability from the ol' park ranger. And a quick turnaround on your part. All in all, damn funny.
