This reminds me of the time I saw a bunch of college freshmen,
fraternity pledges, blindfolded and standing in line outside a
topless-bottomless joint. Turns out it was a hazing prank... fratrat
leads the pledge in, sits him down, asks him, "Can you tell where you
are?" "I dunno, but the smell is familiar..."
Sure beats alcohol poisoning!
