The "Reverse Oreo" Story

It was an ordinary day. We had just checked into the Divi in Barbados. Nice place! Seems we had a parking lot view with no TV in the bedroom and no microwave in the kitchen, both necessary items. Our friends Jere and "Just Sue" had a beautiful room by the swimming pool. And I made the arrangements!! NOT FAIR. Needless to say we complained and were moved into a room facing the parking lot on the other side of the complex. At least it had a TV and microwave. We unpacked and decided to explore. We met some fellow travelers who were staying at the Divi with us. Rocky and Sue and their 2 young girls. Seems Rocky was a native Barbadian who met a young girl from England who was on vacation in Barbados, fell in love, moved to England with her and had 2 children. They came back to Barbados every year for vacation so he could see all his friends and relatives. We got to talking and I asked him what he did when he lived in Barbados. He was a high school teacher. So were Jere and I. He told us he taught something called "Industrial Arts." Did we know what that was? You betcha, we both taught industrial arts. To our suprise there were many other coincidences. Well, we had to get a photo of the 3 shop teachers, didn't we. Rocky's wife Sue, my wife Carol and Jere's wife "Just" Sue grabbed the digital cameras. Posing took place. We put Rocky in the middle and we all wrapped arms around each other. 2 old white guys around a young black fellow. As the flashes went off, Rocky looked at me and said, "This is like a reverse Oreo." It was just another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
