An evil prank

An evil prank

It was on tour with the Velvet Knights. I’m guessing circa 1975 we were driving east, leaving California in early July. We were crossing a really long desert stretch where we had been putting down water, soda, or anything else we could get. The apparent problem occurred when it was time to return that water to the earth. Well, the bus driver did not want to stop. Mile after mile went by and the bursting feeling just got more intense, we need to stop.  After the driver said no for the umpteenth time, one of the more adventuresome horn players. It had to be a soprano because the baritone and middle horns were not that adventurous. We resorted to using empty Gatorade containers or anything that would seal to tide us over.
For the question of the day we ask, does anyone know what warm apple juice looks like? Yes, you do!!  So this unnamed horn player went up to the driver and said. “If YOU DON’T STOP THE BUS RIGHT NOW IO’M GOING TO DRINK THIS. “He then showed the half-empty container of apple juice and downed it. As we all know, “Perception IS Reality!” The driver immediately became violently ill, stopped the bus and let his projectile vomit escape on the side of the road.  We all piled off the bus, found a safe place to go, and relieved the mounting pressure.  That driver had to be replaced at the next stop.   I was 17 or 18  long ago in a galaxy far away.
