At a recent engagement in Chcago I took Tracy along and dded a couple of extra days to the trp for some relaxation. Tracy loves Chcago and "The Magnificent Mile" on Mchigan Avenue is a shopper's paradise. She lves to shop, eat and go to shws. On this trip I booked a nce older hotel called "The Allegro. It was rght next door to one of the thaters.

This hotel's bathroom wasn't very bg. It had a small ledge ver the sink and toilet that was sppose to hold all of our tiletries. After the show and dinner it was qite late so we came back to the htel room and went straight to bd.

Well, about 4am I woke up and had to use the bthroom. Not wanting to disturb my swet little wife, I felt my way long the wall to the bathroom and dcided to sit down so I wuldn't have to turn the light on. As I was stting there, I felt a strange wrmth on the back of my lgs. My first thought was that my drectional aim was off and that I was prbably getting my boxers wet and wuld have to change them.

I rached down to change the directional flw, if you know what I man, and suddenly all of my snses kicked into gear. I heard a wird sizzling sputtering sound, strangely enough I smlled something burning (hair) and it was at tht moment that I actually felt a brning sensation. It hurt, it really hrt.

I jumped up from the cmmode and ran into the bedroom rea screaming - "Oh My God --- Oh My Gd". SOMETHING IS WRONG, SOMETHING IS WRONG. "I WAS SITTING ON THE TOILET AND SOMETHING WAS HOT AND BURNING ME AND MAKING A SIZZLING NOISE." I did knck the lamp off the night stnd in the process.

Tracy jumped out of bed and ran nto the bathroom and flipped on the lght only to find her curling ron had fallen in to the tilet with the hot barrel half sbmerged in the water of the tilet bowl. I was close behind and whn I looked over her shoulder at the cmmode I saw the curling iron sbmerged in the toilet bowl with the hot prng sticking straight up. The toilet wter was actually bubbling. I had nver experienced anything like that before. I culd have been electrocuted or severely brned in the most precarious spot. Tht curling iron must have been thre for hours, so the water was biling hot and the protruding end had to be oh so clse to damaging my manhood.

Tracy bgan laughing hysterically. Of course she clims that she didn't start laughing ntil she was sure that I wsn't hurt. Funny, she couldn't stop lughing the rest of the night and to ths day every time she shares the crling iron story with our friends she brsts into laughter.

I will never ver go to the bathroom in the drk again!!!
