once in germany while studying abroad, i took a busride with the other
delinquents on the program, who'd brought along a very nasty bottle of
liquor, which they tried to force on the weak of will. the bus driver
turned and asked for the bottle--i assumed he was confiscating it.
instead, he tossed back a couple slugs (swerving dramatically) and
passed it on.
