Diving drunk while sleeping

2008 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I flew into Gulfport Ms one night to visit my bestfriend. He picked me up from the airport at 8:00p.m. We went to several bars and after a few shots of Quervo and such, we decided to kick it at his place. He generously offered me the bed whiled he took the couch.

Sometime in the middle of the night I must have started dreaming about a lagoon with a waterfall. I was diving into it. Next I knew, I was flipped over in my friends bathtub trying to swim out of it. In my defense, his shower curtain did have water and fish painted on it.

I still carry a small scar on my forehead from diving drunk while sleeping.

Not to uncommon an outcome when it comes to Quervo shots, but humorous nonetheless. Thanks, Belinda!

Definitely Keep: Personal Account
Well, I can't say how much of this is due to Ol' Man Cuervo and how much to somnambulism (as opposed to stupidity), but this is a highly amusing tale which the readers should get a laugh from! Either way, it must have sobered you up PDQ!! Thanks, Belinda!
