Reign of terror might be an overstatement, but Marc did have a rather comical string of faux pas during his stay in Sydney.
1. Mutilated an innocent girl’s hand
In the evening of X-mas day, we headed over to a party at the apartment of some friends from AGSM. Marc and I were sitting chatting with our friend Rose, who'd had a couple of drinks by then. Marc said something funny and Rose went to give him a playful punch in the shoulder. She threw the punch a little harder than she thought and Marc happened to turn just then, so she missed his shoulder and hit his glass instead. The glass shattered. Then, as if in slow motion, the blood began to trickle down her hand.
Alright, it wasn’t his fault and she was a little tipsy, but it was spectacular beginning to his trip. Luckily, Rose was ok . . . although she did need a stitch or two.
2. Traumatized a boy in a McDonald’s Bathroom
After Dan found that last leech sucking the blood from his belly, we all thought it best to do another check and we dove into the bathrooms to conduct full body inspections. Marc headed into the men’s bathroom with Greg on his heels. From the stall, Marc kept talking to Greg, telling him how creeped out he was and describing in detail just how he was going to conduct his full body search. He was inspecting EVERYWHERE, and he said so. The only problem was that when he opened the stall door, Greg was nowhere to be found. He’d left the bathroom and in his place was a very shocked looking 10-year-old boy.
Marc got out of that bathroom fast.
3. Laughed at a kid in public
On our tour of the Jenolan caves, there was a little kid that kept joking around and being loud in that oh-so-endearing way that little boys have. At one point, the tour stopped in a big cavernous section and the tour guide was trying quiet everyone down so she could continue talking. Just at the point that silence was achieved, a loud fart ripped through the silence. The sound came from the general direction of our young friend.
Marc cracks up laughing hysterically . . . everyone else remained silent. A minute later, Marc comments that the kid is so funny – he loves that obnoxious 4th grade humor. Making fake farting noises in a silent room is so classic.
It wasn’t fake. Poor kid walked of that cave looking quite sheepish.
