First of all, let me say this didn't happen to me. It happened to a friend of a friend, and that's how I know about it.

Let's just say the holidays are tough and sometimes confusing for this person. It seems he or she, whatever, was waiting for the pumpkin pie to come out of the oven and feeling funny, glanced at the laptop keyboard, when all of a sudden, things looked completely different, kind of like a time warp to a different plane. For example, he or she had never really comprehended the full meaning of the "Fn" on the keyboard before. Suddenly, it seemed to mean "fun", whereas it had never seemed to mean that before. Also the lamp on the book shelf seemed to take on the characteristics of a saint, fully illuminated.

The friend of a friend does not take drugs. Alcohol is enough to render them silly. That's why it's OK for some people to say, "No, thanks, I'm driving." even if they're not.

God Almighty, I love John Denver, because he was the first one to condone the Rocky Mountain High and think it was funny.
