» Conspicuous Consumption

It involved a balcony and some chow-chow...
...but it wasn't a croissant. Long time ago, back in the days of university, I was at a party at the flat below ours. They also had a balcony.

Anyway, some hammered girl came up to me and told me I looked like a "nice, kind sorta guy" and that she'd very much appreciate it if I kept an eye on her in case she "did anything stupid". Well, naturally I failed miserably and not long later went outside onto the aforementioned balcony and there in the daylight for all the campus (and party) to see is a guy with his pants acting as ankle-warmers getting a noshing. Off the girl who'd asked me to keep an eye on her. I guess I kept another sort of eye on her... by proxy, anyway.

And the best bit; the chap having his ankles warmed turned out to be the guy who became my best mate throughout university, and not at all on the back of the fact I got him a drunken slag without even trying.
