A Surprise Slide

I went to visit an old friend today. Being as she lives in North Carolina, I hadn't actually seen her since Jeff and I's wedding. She isn't in New York often, so her entire family was around to see her. Hanging out at her grandparents, we had time to catch up.

A little while into our time, her grandfather gathered everyone and wanted to show some of his slides. The entire basement is full of slides, ranging from the 1950's to present day. So, Ashley and I went to hang out and check the set of slides her grandfather would choose to show on this lovely Sunday.

The slides were cute. Ashley's mother and aunt, who were both present, were both in diapers in the pictures. Very entertaining when you are with a loud, boisterous group of people. Then, it happened. Something no one in the family could have ever imagined. Something beyond my wildest dreams of what Ashley's sweet old grandfather would show on the big screen.

A Playboy centerfold from 1975, right there, in all her nudeness, for everyone to see.

Screams, yells, and laughter erupted. Apparently, to nobody's knowledge, Ashley's uncle used to take pictures of all the Playboy centerfolds and mail them to his father. So, as to play a joke on himself, her grandfather dispersed the centerfold slides into random groups of his organized slideshows. Apparently he didn't really think that through!

All in all, everyone got a great laugh out of it. I guess that was his goal all those years back. Mission accomplished!
