Why didn't we write a book when these were all fresh?
As told by DHS.
"I was driving a golf cart on an extremely hot and humid Houston day to the old Children's Zoo. It was the heat of the day as I recall. On a bench between capybaras and rhinos was an East Texas redneck woman (if memory serves, she had on a NASCAR tshirt) and her super-skinny early teenage son. He had his head in his hands and she was smoking a cigarette. I stopped to ask her to extinguish her smoke and upon closer examination, realized the kid was about to fall out from heat stroke.
I sent out the cry for help on the radio and you rolled up on your tricycle. Then the famous words.
DHS - M'am, it seems your boy is suffering from heat exhaustion. Has he been drinking water today?
Lady - He ain't been drinkin' nothin' but Coca Cola all day. They's ice in it.
Wide-eyed glance of disbelief between DHS and JT that idiots such as these are able to exist/function in the world. Then immediately back on task.
JT - M'am, we need to get him some water. Son, put these ice packs under your arms and this one on the back of your neck.
Patient rallies, mom and son go on their way, DHS and JT enjoy countless laughs related to the incident for their remaining tenure at HZI."
