Taking her Show on the Road

So my sister Corky is going to be flying solo this Friday for the first time...

She is the self proclaimed entertainer for the Gardner Family and we are all very proud for her first attempt at greatness.
I am sure she will do fine, as entertaining runs in the family and she is very quick and witty. One of our many family mottos has always been, "If you can't take a joke, then the hell with you"

So with that in mind I am sure she will do fine...

She asked me to try and jog her memory regarding some of the humorous events of our lives that she might have forgotten...
I would have to preface this with a small note on how our sense of humor may not be on parr with that of others and that we often laugh at some of the more interesting aspects of life...

Set one:
Corky vs. Fence: Bring on the Japanese Tour Group

I am sure you have all heard this one before...

So while living in Ashland, Corky was part of many groups, clubs, and teams. Some of the more notable ones were different activist groups around town and Global Local, a small television show aired on public access to a small crowd.

Corky is due to be interviewing the main guest at the beginning of the show... She makes a quick stop at her apartment to get ready and realizes, as usual, she's running late.
The studio is clear across campus and there is a large fence separating her from her destination.

So in usual Corky fashion, she decides she can save some time by taking the shortcut... As usual, this is not the case...

So Corky sets out on her mission... She plans out her strategy carefully.... After attempts at jumping over the fence fail for the 5'1" renegade, she decides the best plan of attack is to go under it.... She even finds a small clearing where the fence is set apart from the ground... That's the one... She lays on the ground and begins to burrow her way to victory....

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...

Aw, but her joy is cut short when she realizes the fatal error in her plan and notices that she cannot fit through the hole. Good try Cork, good try... So she begins to give up on plan number one and sets to the task of backing out from under the fence...

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle...

It is only then that she realizes the final outcome... and the error of her ways... She is stuck under a wooden fence in the middle of campus, in broad daylight... Suddenly trapped, with nowhere to go and no way to explain what she could possibly be doing stuck under a fence... (Her explanation of shortcut, would probably not be working now)

So what could possibly make this situation better?
That's right, the Japanese Tour Group come to see the Beautiful Ashland Campus, and Corky, one of their students, trapped under a fence...

Trying to blend in as best she could, Corky attempts to cover herself in leaves and hold perfectly still, which only completes the added effect of making her look like an abandoned corpse on the edge of the sidewalk...

Good times..

But somehow, she made it out, sans shirt of course and ended up on the show, right on time with perfect composure and no evidence to the contrary aside from her shirt being inside out and having been impaled by a stick or two.
