I was about to post this flick in the funny videos thread when it triggered a fond memory from my time at university...
Being party preases of my student club, large portions of my budget went to beer, beer, vodka, beer, cigarettes, beer and beer. So at a certain point, I decided to get me a little job on the side to pay for my intoxicating hobby. To everyone's surprise (yeah right
) I ended up behind the bar of a student pub. Fun job even though I had to stay sober(ish) all night.
Anyway, near the city there was an army base and for some reason the soldier boys didn't get along very well with the student population. So in order to prevent his pub from being smashed during a brawl, the owner kept a bat, mace and a stun gun behind the counter. In fact, one of my first instructions was to pick a toy of my choice and use it on the first fucker who even thought of starting a fight.
So one fine night yours truly is filling up pints with the 3rd best beer in the world (#1 Stella, #2 Jupiler, #3 Primus) when all of a sudden a guy at the bar starts making spastic movements and hitting the people next to him. I wanted to score with the owner so I grabbed the stun gun, jumped over the counter and started to frie the guy.
But when I got him on the floor and saw foam on his mouth, I realised I kinda fucked up. The guy wasn't some drunken madman causing a scene, he was an epileptic having a seizure...
I think I've never dialed 101 (911) as fast as I did then.
I went to visit him the next day and fortunately he accepted my explanation for what had happened as well as my apologies (the fact that he could have drinks on the house for an entire week could've helped a little too
).
When I think of it now, I still kiss both of my hands for charging with the stungun instead of taking the mace or the bat...
So let's hear it people, what was your brightest moment?
