It's funny- the OTHER roomie, sober that night, also had an upside down experience. At the end of our freshmen year, a whole bunch of us went to Virginia Beach to celebrate. One night, Roomie 2, didn't come in until really late- we were sleeping about a dozen of us in one of those places that are probably all gone now- the cheap motels with a little kitchenette and two bedrooms-- and as she fell over people and apologized, she kept saying," It was PUUUURE-LY medicinal." The next morning we found her, I kid you not, upside down in the big plastic trashcan in the kitchenette, where she'd passed out. The reason it was "puuuurely medicinal", was because while taking a drink from a bottle of beer at a party, Jimmy Jacobs (who is now a very successful insurance salesman, at least so says the Alumni mag) had smacked her in the mouth with his elbow and snapped the bottoms of her two front teeth off. SHe was in terrible pain, it was late on a Sat night, and they couldn't find a dentist willing to do anything for a strange, semi-drunk bunch of college kids, and so she just kept drinking to ease the pain. She married a dentist, and has really lovely front teeth now. SHe's also the Dean of a college. ANd Roomie #1 is a very successful executive. I, on the other hand, having never gotten drunk and thrown up or passed out upside down, am a failure and now I know why.
