When I announced the embarrassing story contest, Drew was the first to respond. I don’t think I’ll ever forget his brief but shudder-inducing tale of woe.
How about the time I was traveling to Canada with three Vice Presidents from my company, my direct boss and his boss, and two other people for a two [...]

If you’re my friend Neil, you just show up somewhere, say, Czechoslovakia, and hope for the best. [...]
