All right, here goes.
Because I graduated from HB and lived at home, I had the opportunity to work an A bus route. My freshman year, I was a bus captain and I recruited a couple of HB kids to work on the bus with me.
One Wed night after church, Kevin, Frank (two of my workers) and I attended the A bus meeting after the service. After the meeting, I gave them a ride to their respective homes in my small, Chevy S-10 pickup truck. (Remember that one, prophet?
) Well, we were on Calumet Avenue just south of the police department when we saw a stranded motorist, a lady alongside of the road with the hood of her car up. I pulled in behind her and stayed in the car while Kevin and Frank went up to her to see if she needed help. Next thing I know she is headed back to our pickup. Thy guys told me they promised her I would give her a ride so she could call for help.
She got in the cab and the guys jumped into the bed of the pickup, leaving the two of us alone in the cab of the truck. (They could see everything through the back window.) I asked her where she was going and she told me it was in Schererville. Nothing too suspicious at that point. I asked her if she lived there and she said she was meeting a client. Stupid me, I had to ask what kind of business she was in. She didn't dress too awkwardly, a blouse and blue jeans, so my nativity was sincere. She said, "I am in the business of making men happy!" The wheels started turning in my head and my heart started pumping harder as I began to realize what that meant. Then she put her hand on my leg and said, "I would like to thank you for giving me a ride. I won't charge you a thing." I immediately grabbed my Bible which was on the seat beside me and put it on my lap.
In the meantime, the guys were in the back looking through the window, literally inches behind us. They were laughing like crazy! I didn't know whether I should drop her off alongside the road somewhere or what, but I took her to the address where she wanted. I tried witnessing to her and talking spiritual things so she got the hint I wasn't interested in her "thanks". Once she got out, she thanked me for the ride. Then the guys jumped back in the cab and just roared in laughter.
Anyway, that is the time I picked up a hooker and took her to visit her client. I can't imagine the demerits I would have accrued had the administration ever found out!
