| 5 levels of Hangovers
I found this quite funny, having been there, but, at the same time, cant believe I would induce this myself. > Five Levels of Hangovers > > One Star Hangover (*) > No pain.

This made me laugh so hard - when I was still working, one of my staff was on the road - in stage five. Situation CRITICAL!!! He screeched into the fire lane of a Wal-Mart and did the "trouser chili running walk" into the store, grabbed a package of Hanes and hit the mens room. He meant to flush his underwear....did not intend to flush his cell phone. |

Amazing to laugh about this.. but it in retrospect it's so damn funny! I remember the first time I heard someone share about shitting in their pants... I was so relieved to know it wasn't only a problem between me and my sphincter muscle! Jeez, the stuff we went through eh? For any of you still having a problem with that specific muscle please know the problem remedies itself with every day sober.

Oh thank you! ... -cough- -cough- ... I needed that so badly! ... Between inadvertently soiling your underwear (and just what are the appropriate steps anyways?) and remembering which grade of hangover we used to deal with most... It is soooooo good to know that we are not alone!!! Yeah, pretty insane what we used to make ourselves put up with, huh? ... Its funny because its so true, (and the pain fuels the laughter). I'm glad to know that others have experienced the same things I have -- it sort of "normalizes" it all for me, and adds perspective. I'm glad I don't have to go back to that. You Are Not Alone!
