You can laugh at this now but at the time it was the most un-funny thing that ever happened to me!
The night was moist!
On my way home I stopped by a construction site. They had just dug out the foundation and I walked to the edge to take a good look. It had rained for a few days prior and the groung was a little muddy. I got pretty close to the edge when the ground all around me gave way and I fell into the foundation which had about a half a foot of water at the bottom! Of course I was wearing a suit and shoes which are now covered in mud!
I'm soaked and muddy but I figured I would be fine when I get to my cell phone in my car to have someone bring me a few towels. I look around for a way out but it turns out I'm in a big hole! OK ... I'll just climb out! So I look around again for the best spot but it's getting dark so I trudge thru the mud and water looing for my escape route. I find what appears to be a good line and start my climb! I get about 3 feet and slide back down! I try again and the same thing! The walls are just falling apart as I try to grab on to the slippery edges and rocks! Again and again I tried to escape this muddy foundation getting more and more frustrated with my situation!!
A few times I tried a running start but that didn't work!!!
It is now dark and I'm in the foudation with no one around,& no way to get out!!! I'm soaked full of mud in my hair my eyes everywhere!! I can't call anyone since my phone is in my car and I'm exhausted from trying to escape
so I sit down and regroup for a few minutes. I'm sitting there for 10 minutes when I hear a crack like someone stepped on a twig. I look up and see 3 Deer looking down at me. 1 was a nice Buck! HS!! That's all I need is for the ground to collapse under the Buck and be stuck inside the foundation with him fighting a Deer all night long!
I take off my jacket swing it around and start screaming. This Deer just looks at me and doesn't run!
I pick up some mud,rocks and my jacket & throw it at the Deer screeming at the top of my lungs and finally the trotted away!
Thats it!! I'll take my shoes off and use them as spikes to climb out.So I shove my shoes into the muddy walls and almost make it to the top and slide back down again!!!
Again and again I try making it alost to the top atleast 20 times.I had the tips of my fingers on the top atleast 10 times but slid all the way back down again!!
MOTHER F@*KER C@$K S&C%ER!!!!!!!!! I can't get out!!!!
My arms are getting cut up on the rocks from sliding down so I take my shirt off and wrap it around 1 arm! What do I do for my other arm? Off come the pants! I rip them and wrap them around my other arm! I try again and again, making it almost to the top and boom!
4 AND A HALF HOURS LATER I finally make it out!
covered in mud no shoes no pants no jacket no shirt my car still running.
I crawled as fast I could away from the edge and just layed on the ground for 10 min kissing the ground!
Can you imagine the drive home? No you can't cause I was in such a rush to get home I get pulled over for speeding!! 45 in a 35!! He wanted to hear why I was in driving around covered in mud just in my boxers!! I told him what happened I never and I mean never saw a cop laugh so hard!!
He let me go with a verbal warning! I'm pretty sure they still laugh about that at the station.
