Sunstroke can be funny

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner


Summer is coming, but beware of the sun. I once went on a holiday to Greece, mid-August. The deal was, on the first day of a 2 week package, you would meet the people on the second week of their 2 week deal, and they would show you around.

At the welcome party it was all very jovial as 50 tanned and party-drunk folks welcomed 50 pale and travel weary holidaymakers. After the introductory toast and explanation of what was on offer, there was a word of warning.

"I would like to introduce you to, John, who we now know as "Pus foot".

This sorry looking guy with cheeks as red as a beetroot, lips as brown and crusty as I don't know what, hobbled to the front. He then went on to explain how he had got drunk on the first day and fallen asleep on the beach. 5 hours later he had woken up face down and hung over. The burns on the soles of his feet were so bad, the ambulance had to be called to move him. By the end of week one, he was just getting comfortable enough, in a pained and tortured kind of way, to start walking around.

Needless to say, we all took note, laughed at him and got completely blind drunk. But we did learn from his errors and stayed in the shady confines of the hotel.
