Do they wear underwear?

We went to a wine tasting  in Weissenkirchen the other night.  As with all of the events/excursions we have a guide who explains everything during the tour.  Now..... we had a long day with the duel tour of Durnestein and the Melk....so we were a little tired or should I say punchy.  Mix that with a group of people, our new cruise friends, and this can spell ....snarky humor I guess.


Its me and mom with the Prices at the end of a 10 person long rectangular table.  Next to us is Martin ( Florida) and Kevin (Minnesota). Its been three or four days and the jokes, sarcastic humor and jabs are well oiled by this time.  Also, by now most of us are pretty tired of guides that just ramble on and on.  Well we had one of those guides that night.  He was a nice guy....but ask him a question and wow....buckle up.....we just want to drink the wine and maybe have some conversation between ourselves.....but no....guide of the month continues to jammer on about who knows what. 

So Martin and Kevin start egging this guy on with"thoughtful" questions....the guide enthusiastically answers...for cripes sake...the looks that we are giving these two guys...please stop asking questions.  Im bored ....drinking a liquid that I do not like...trying to be attentive....ok not trying that hard.  I have had a bunch of cocktails at happy hour and .....

Martin asks, in his very serious voice,....do they wear gloves when they pick the grapes.?....OK I lost it...so I under my breath ....or at least I thought it was under my breath...remember the Vodka Tonics were flowing....  I ask..."Do they wear underwear?   That was it.....Denise, Mom Mike and I start giggling....uncontrollable....trying to hold it in....We are like 10 year olds in the back of Mass that cannot stop themselves.

The guide never took a breath...that made it even more funny....ok it was rude....but we could not stop.   


Laughed so hard my back started to ache.....
