What Not To Do After A Night of Drinking

From The Villager:

A 28-year-old man who had been drinking with a friend in the East Village on Friday night was impaled on an iron fence at a parking lot on E. First St. near Avenue A when he tried to vault the fence at 7:30 a.m. Sat. May 27.

The victim and his friend were taking a shortcut across the parking lot to a nearby diner at the time.

An Emergency Medical Service team and police were able to free him from the fence spike that penetrated his lower left leg. He was taken to Bellevue hospital in stable condition.
That reminds me of the time my college roommate (you know who you are, wench) tried to vault a fence while drunk and ripped out the entire seat of her jeans. Being the die-hard alcoholic that she is, she just borrowed a sweater from one of the guys we were with, tied it around her waist, and proceeded to the next bar.

I miss college.
