reinier's screw moments 1

Me and two buddies just decided to screw studying that night, relax, and have fun. All in the interest of "prepping' ourselves up for the last stretch in school. Yeah, we won't have any fun time for three weeks since finals week is fast approaching. Plus we're all taking the MCAT on the same day a couple months after. So this is the only time to chill.

As with most male college students, beer was the standard. Given that we were all tired after a 12-hour school day (that's actually less than the usual) plus we had more studying to do and more assignments to worry about, we weren't in our fun mode. This yields horrible consequences, especially when it comes to pickup lines and creating conversations...

J doesn't drink a lot. So he had just a glass of beer and A LOT of water. He wanted one more glass...of water. He called the server, Mary.

"Hey can I get a glass of your delicious water?"

Mary gave her a WTF look and laughed.

"Thanks you're the best!" J followed up.

The screwup highlight:

This girl had two rings. I got curious. So I asked her what were those rings for (like, what the fuck are you doing in a bar with a wedding/engagement ring?)...she said "Oh this is from my mom and this is from my brother, blah blah blah"...

"Oh cool. I cut rings in the emergency room."

"Oh okay"

As soon as she left, it all sank in. My buddies laughed their asses off and I just realized-

"What the fuck did I just say?"

Damn. Might as well told her that I can describe the TCA cycle to her in detail. Or maybe offered her my leftover fried rice that was sitting in my car. Crap.

To this day, that line has left an indelible stigma. My buddies couldn't wait for that day when we're all in medical school doing our rotations and one of them will effin call me just to tell me that they had cut a ring in the ER for the first time. The bastards are looking forward to that.
