A Funny Farewell.

I have been delaying writing about the farewell with Josh and Tara because....well, it's just alittle depressing.  But in true Jones and Bruce fashion, it was funny.  There were a lot of tears on my end, Tara did pretty good about holding it together.  I on the other hand, just let it all out!  When we first got to the airport, Andy found a wheelchair and decided he was tired of walking...(we had been walking for about 45 seconds...) We found Josh and Tara inside and we hung out for a little while in the food court before we said our final goodbyes.  In that time, Andy broke the wheelchair by popping a few wheelies and falling over backwards.  Twice.  Boys don't learn the first time.  Come to find out they don't learn the second time either, but that's later.  We all had a great laugh over Andy laying in the middle of the airport on the floor with the wheel chair upside down next to him with the back ripped off due to the hard impact!  We said our final goodbyes and it was quite sad.  Not exactly our style.  So after we watched them walk to the security area hand in hand, Andy decided on a different goodbye.  He followed them and then, as loud as he could, belted out his high pitch girlie laugh.  Those of you that have heard it understand what I am talking about.  Now, my typing (or words for that matter,) can not possibly convey the hilarity of that moment.  Let's just say that the entire airport's attention was on a man laughing and clapping his hands like a little boy, er, little girl.  It was the perfect farewell.  But what Josh and Tara don't know is that our trip to the airport was not done.  On the way out, Andy once again grabs the busted wheel chair and continues to pop wheelies.  (I know, I saw that it was not going to end well and tried to warn him, but you know boys...)  He ended up falling upside down yet again, slamming into the ground as there was no longer a back to the wheel chair to break his fall.  As he was laying on the ground moaning, Joe Brim walked up and stood over him, pointing and laughing.  Which thinking about later probably looked really bad to everyone else in the airport that didn't know Andy wasn't handicapped.  Anywho, Andy reached up from the ground with his uninjured arm and smacked Joe in the.....well, you know.  Down Joe goes, fast food and all!  So I just want you to make a mental picture here.  Two grown men, strewn about the floor.  Upside down well chair.  In the Atlanta airport atrium.  Busiest airport in the US.  Yeah, I was laughing too....
