I want to share a story!

My wife and I were at Pat O'Briens in New Orleans one time, sitting on the patio because our favorite piano bar was jam packed. Some college guy's were having a good time, drinking their fair share of hurricane's and eating popcorn. One of the kid's, a 6'5"+ bean pole, decided he needed to use the facilities. The need was discussed with his buddies for some time, all of
them contemplating if they were capable of walking or not. Finally this tall kid stands up. He looked like a flag pole in a strong wind, swaying far to the right, then back to the left, all the while his friends encouraging him to head for the head. At last he stabilized, shook his head as if to clear his vision, then proceeded to fall straight-legged, arms at his sides, like a
giant tree sawed off at the base. Everyone in the area watched in awe as he fell forehead first to the pavement, his arms or knees never breaking his fall. After a moment of stunned silence, his friends scrambled to their feet, picked him up and helped him out of the bar. As he was staggering by another table of revelers, someone yelled, "TIMBER!!!" I bet that kid had an
awesome hangover.
