This reminds me of a story.

As I've mentioned in previous posts, I love bowling. I don't go as often as I used to, but if I can get out on a Saturday night and roll a few games, I'm happy.

One night, I was out by myself, throwing a pretty good game when all of the sudden everything went dark except for a few rows of black lights.

The Bowling alley was doing their cosmic bowling thing.They had fluorescent decorations everywhere and pins that glowed under the special lighting.

I thought what the hell...they probably just screwed up a 260 game for me.. I decided to take break, sit down and finish my beer. A bunch of teenagers were filling up the lanes around me. They looked dirty and unkempt, even though it was obvious they had money. Grunge fashion was still hanging on because it was so easy to pull off. Don't bathe, wash, or comb your hair, wear a ratty T-shirt and jeans that look like were stolen off of a dead wino. Real classy.

All of the sudden, I involuntarily spit a mouthful of beer in a 5 foot radius and started choking.

Once my eyes had adjusted to the new light, I noticed that there were many , hands, faces and articles of clothing glowing brighter than most of the bowling pins. One girl finally realized what was going on and ran to the bathroom at a full sprint. The guys just sat there looking clueless while picking at the glowing stuff on the front of their jeans.

Apparently, they didn't realize that the genetic material they were slurping on and splashing on each other a little while earlier would be so unforgiving under the black lights.

Be careful when you shake someones hand, you never know what you're going to get.

This video reminded me of that story.
