The ones that come to mind for some reason all have to do with The Shrimp Festival in gulf shores. ;) There was the time that someone mistaken JL for an Iranian and told her to go back to Iraq. There is the time at Flora Bama on her 21st bday... Ummm I forgot , what happens at flora bama stays at flora bama!!:().
