Another Saturday Night
I'm standing just inside the front door of my dorm, waiting for the Domino's delivery guy. A few guys who look like they haven't had a haircut since Christmas break come out for a smoke. An SUV pulls up, and some frat/sorority-looking guys and girls run out of the dorm to meet the frat/sorority-looking guys and girls pouring out of the vehicle. Suddenly everyone is holding a drink, and I marvel and the effectiveness of a dry campus. I also wonder what the point is of wearing shorts over pants, as one of the girls is sporting this look.
Soon the crowd disperses, headed off to "the party." Two guys are left, one puffing away and the other stumbling around with his drink in hand. Then the guy with the cup pauses, bends over a little, and grabs his nose. I cringe, knowing what's next. I'll resort to clichés in order to spare the gruesome details: He spills his cookies. Right in front of the sober smoking guy.
Drunk guy: "Sorry, man."
Sober smoker: "I've been there man." Not a wince. Not a flinch. Completely calm. Puke not six inches from his feet.
That's either awesome understanding or sheer insanity.
