improv is good for you

“Freshman year of college we’re heading out on a road trip to Milwaukee to see a big game. We’re in the car. We’ve got the fifth of vodka, the gallon of orange juice. We’re ready to get loaded and party. Just as we start to drive, Chris says, ‘Stop!’

We stop the car, and he pulls out a rosary. We have to sit there in the car and say one decade of the rosary — ten Hail Marys and an Our Father — before we can leave. Then he balls the rosary up in his hand, tosses it in the glove compartment, slams it shut, looks at all of us and says, ‘Well, it’s in God’s hands now.’ And we hit the road.”
