Hey, stupid!

So here's a topic we've not addressed before....in the spirit of fun. 

What would you say is the single stupidest thing you have ever done in the past?


I will start the stupid-fest.  When I was about 20 years old and plastered from round after round of drinks with my buddy at the bar, I made a very bad decision.  In a fit of vodka-fuel bravado and trying to amuse my equally plastered friend, I decided I would put out my lit cigarette on the roof of my mouth.  I figured the saliva and pressure would snuff it out so fast it'd be no big deal.  I was.....mistaken. 

Can still feel the little hole there with my tongue, decades later.





You?

Ah, so Close to the Edge is about hangovers.  

Speaking of which, in college during final exams, I went out with a friend to play some darts and have "just a couple of beers" and wanted to be home by 11, because I had an exam at 8 am the next morning.  Around 4:30 a.m., I found myself going to bed after consuming massive amounts of alcohol.  Somehow, some way, I woke up at 8 a.m.  Threw a baseball cap over my bed head, and slithered my way the 15 minute walk to my class (it took me almost 30 minutes that morning).  I must have stunk something awful of alcohol because when I entered the class room and took the exam from the professor's desk, you could see her physically recoil from the brewery stench I had going on.  Good times.  Good times. 

Doc, it's funny how fast 11 can become 4:30, ain't it?  

That is does, Jim.  Fortunately the only thing I suffered from was acute embarrassment.  Walking into a final exam a half an hour late, looking half dead and smelling of booze, and have everyone stop the exam to look at you as you enter the class room, definitely embarrassing.  And I think it was months before my classmates let me live that one down.  

I can't think of the single most stupid thing I've done, but the stupidest thing I do on a consistent basis is choke on my own spit.

That sh*t happened last year.  This time of year, actually.  I have (and had) three kids.  That's why it's ranked as #1 on "Stupid."  Had it not been for good company, I could have encountered more serious injuries, like walking out in front of car.

I had nothing to gain and every reason to know better.
