Flight back

We were going for a long flight back. Filled with euchre, food and fun times. Here's a video I got of myself and Alex Gasson - an MMA Fighter.

This was in Germany - and no, I don't know what I was thinking.




We were going to set up a stage in the back to play on but I think everyone was too tired. We got to fly on the PM's plane again so it was a great ride back. I kept on checking my watch though as we were to land at 5:30pm and I had a show at 7pm. I figured there would not be a chance to make it but the show was close enough to the airport that if we landed on time then I could do it.

We landed ahead of time - made it to the show with all of my bags and the show was actually in a military mess. Ya - comedian coming back from Kandahar gets to do a show in a military mess the day he comes back - how many other people have done that? Can't be many. Show was great - got a HUGE ovation when they heard I came back from Afghanistan so when I got on stage I really couldn't fail.

After the show someone from there dropped me off at the Holiday Inn as Louise had booked me a hotel room. I asked to check-in and they didn't have my name in the system. I was dead tired so I was looking for the confirmation number in my bag when a girl came up and asked me about my shirt. It said "Afghanistan 2010" on it so I told her I just came back. She said her hubby was over there and he was a gunner on a Chinook. I said "I was just on a Chinook!" and she let me know that he flew with Guy Lafleur on Monday. That was our helicopter!

Weird how small the world is.

Oh - and as it turns out - I was supposed to go to the Days Inn.
