This happened to me last night at our favorite bar in Fredericksburg. It makes me chuckle thinking about it....
All of a sudden I got a cramp in my left upper thigh. Pop off the bar stool and the other thigh starts cramping. Never have I had both legs do that. Our friends are concerned and want to know what's happening... 'Cramps, both legs, dying!', I say. Female friend gives me a salt shaker. Not knowing what to do with it, I shake some, for good luck, over my shoulder onto the head of someone sitting behind me. 'No, you idiot, eat it!' says the friend. Ok, so I shake some in the beer. Used to do that when I was a teenager..good plan. 'No, put some in your hand and eat it! The friend says again. Meanwhile I'm getting curious looks from everyone at the bar, all friends of ours... I yell to the bar keeper, 'I need something for the pain! 'Give me a shot of Stroh 160 and make it quick!'. He comes to the rescue in record time and I down it in one gulp (normally I sip this stuff). One of the friends says drink some water. Capital idea I think... 'Lee, give me some beer, please' and he fills my stein back up. I had to stand for about 15 minutes before the cramps subsided enough to sit back down. Meanwhile most of my friends were in tears.. A very good night.
