A good time
Alcohol + car + interstate driving - dinner = funnyWe loaded into our car at 3:00 a.m. and drove to Lincoln.The party had run its course. It would remain as a mere memory to us now. As H, W, and I sped down the interstate to our adopted homes in Lincoln, we discussed anything and everything that came to our minds.Three weary travelers heading to a place where we can rest our heads.Two of us sat in front. H and I were groggy, but coherent. We were in need of a night of rest; we had only the bare minimum of poison in our stomachs. In the back, stretched out lay W. A man who had to much to drink and lay in back, a motionless statue of a human being.As the miles expired, and we drew near our destination, the statue in the back woke up.He sat up in a flurry of motion, and assumed a normal, seated position. A mumbling sound escaped his lips. Confused, H asked him to clarify his statement."What did he say?"W repeated his slurring of consentient, and I had distinctly heard a P."You may want to pull over, he said he needs to puke," I said."Fuck that," H said.He rolled the window next to W's seat.We watched in unmitigated delight as W stuck his head out the window and proceeded to unleash the contents of his stomach all over interstate 80 as wind violently whipped around his head.He pulled himself together."Are you alright?" I said.He then proceeded to stick his head out the window again and vomit uncontrollably.This went on for several minutes. He would pull his head in and I would ask about his condition and he would return to the window.When it was all over with, when everything he had eaten was gone, he reluctantly pulled him self inside. As the vomit froze to the car, we occupants of the front seat had a good laugh."You'll laugh about this tomorrow, we're laughing now."
