I almost pi**ed my pants before leaving Thiland
Based on a very true story.
By: Milo " F my life" Gambino.
Never in travling have I been stone cold scared to death / p**s myself, and dude.... I do have stories from the last few years.
Getting to thr airport nice and early, hardly anyone in security line, I got one giant scare. Ever. This security fella ( who looked like the bad guy in BloodSport, looks at me with a big smile, points and yells " Over by wall. Now! " I pointed to my tender and supple self and say " who me? Couldn't be? Then who? " 2 other guards from the muthafuggin Thailand army ( what they appeared to be) took my bag and myself into a side cube room just branching off from everyone.
Now I'm sweating profusely like I did som**hing wrong. They opened my bag and found 3 semi crushed pills. As they exam, they pull out my ADAD meds. I laughed and said " That's mine! " like I'm confessing my freaking sins so they dont go all panda bear madness on me. So, giant guard thinks ( So I assume ) I'm bringing back a form of m**h. ADAD meds only contain amphetamine salts, which is sorta in the family tree. I calmly explain that it's mine.
They showed me rules where if you bring a controlled substance, you must bring paper work from the doctor. I explained I've been through customs and ext and its never been an issue. Bad guy feom BloodSport made me aware that this is indeed, a very big ass problem for me, as he smiled wifh a little grin.
Now all I can think of is that Thailand/ Philippines Prison I saw on" Locked Up Abroud " Now I start to shake as some other guy is doing some dabbing test on my bad and taking apart random pills. Smart ass me was about to say " Oy! Who's gonna pay for that? Its expensive stuff! You know how much our Healthcare sucks ass? " but....I stood quiet, while they did whatever and then it hit me..m MyChart app on my phone! I'll just pull up my Dr and my script and I'll be home free! I tell this nice lady who was standing by me who spoke some English that I could show proof. " DOESN'T MATTER NOW " as she said with an iron fist.
Now panic starts in as I hear White Stripes play in the background to the song of " Doorbell" This is now deeply seeded in my head forever. Sweat pours from my face as I hear laughter coming from the little testing area.
They come back with my duffle bag and said " You're fine. Next time bring slip so this doesnt happen "
I grabbed by s**t, the gave me a bow...I gave one right the f**k back...like, 2-3 times in total relief.
I never been so scared for som**hing I had zero clue about. All I can think about was " what if my meds do contain some m**h? What if someobe did the ol' switch - ah - roo on me and now I'll be stuffed in a cell with 40 other dudes and have to change my name to Darla.
I always like that name. Darla. Anywhos.... let this be leason to all would be international travelers.
ADHD yours,
Milo.
