My good friend Wutzizname has told me this story before, and made me laugh out loud. If you think it's very very funny when you see other people fall or trip (Meredith?) - then this story is for you.
Read the whole thing. I feel like I am IN that rowdy line because of how well he tells the story. SO FUNNY.

Posted by: red at November 14, 2005 9:09 PMBtw, Red, I really felt terrible about you on the stairs that one time. The one you wrote a while back.
What a mess. And you apparently Yelped, too? Double trouble.
But regarding that night....it was terrible. No one wanted it to go on, or to stop either, apparently. It was like watching a pothole in the street outside while waiting in line at the bank, or watching squirrels try to tightrope a power line. You had nothing else to do at the time, so why not watch?
Also the amazing beauty of it all. A glimpse of someone's life, seeing how they respond to a small, controlled crisis. You had an idea of what was going to happen, but you never really knew until it finally did.
But the guy with the $5 bill was just a prick. I thought he was hilarious.
