Too Dang Funny...Oh Honey

This is tooo (extra o too) funny. Oh Honey, I love you. I love you for reminding me of this story. And I love you for letting me post this story. This is your oops.

A few months ago in the dark days of winter my honey and I got a babysitter, Grammy and Papa. An OVERNIGHT babysitter. yeee-haaaa

We decided to go to our local casino and stay the night. No driving involved. Neither one of us are big gamblers but I do LOVE the sound of penny slot machines. It doesn't matter that the ding ding ding is counting up pennies. I'm winning!!!!!! Shortly after that I am losing. But we never lose more than we planned to. It is entertainment and we go maybe twice a year. no harm, no foul. We also go to hear some music.

This particular time we found, well my honey (I can't take any credit for this) found out that The Steve Miller Band was playing at the casino. You know, "Fly Like an Eagle", "The Joker" , "Rock'n me" Keep on a rock'n me baby.

Awesome and even more awesome it was for free. Couldn't get better than that! We were excited and started telling friends and family our plans. whew hooo party time. So the day of our big date my honey goes to check the casino website to see what time the band is playing.

Uhhhh, Oh No, what?, uuhhmm, WTH? Utter confusion. At some point while checking the website my Honey notices the spelling. It was The Steve Millar Band not Steve Miller Band. No this couldn't be? But yes it was.

I can tell you first hand The Steve Millar Band is NOTHING like The Steve Miller Band. Of course we still went, heck who gives up a free babysitter. No disrespect to Steve Millar but it wasn't what we were expecting. We did have a great time.

The funniest part was perhaps when Jeff''s boss, our neighbors, parents and everyone else asked how The Steve Miller Band was in concert. Oh how we laughed. Honey had to swallow his pride and fess up to everyone of his mistake.

Luckily My honey finds this amusing! As do I.

I raise my glass in a toast to Steve Millar and my honey. chuckling
