Re: You know you've overdosed on FIRST when...
when you're on a coach bus, and the TV falls off of the ceiling, you shout "We're on robotics, we can fix this!" and proceed to try and fix it. Couldn't fix it because we were missing screws, so we thought of duct-taping it to the ceiling, but we resorted to holding it still in front of us for the entire rest of the 2 hour bus ride. It was hilarious to watch it swing back and forth when we hit a bump ;)

Then on the flight home I got pulled over by security for a bag check... in the Xray there was a large area of stuff they couldnt identify. After it was opened and the lady moved about 3 books and a rubiks cube, she discovered my stash of 3/16, 5/32 allen wrenches and 7/16 wrenches in the pocket of my bag.... about 12 of them. |
