When not to shave.

When I was about 19, I went to a party with some friends from work. We drank beer, barbecued, swam etc... later in the night, the tequila bottle came out and everyone started taking shots.

I wasn't an experienced drinker but I thought what the hell...

Everyone got really drunk. I was buzzed but I can usually keep some composure. I noticed that two guys at the party had crawled into bed with my female co-worker who was passed out cold and shut the door.

I said....uh no fucking way they going to drunk rape this girl. So I went in scooped her up and put her on the couch and stood guard over her.

The dudes were PISSED OFF that I messed up their little game and one of them tried to fight me, but he was too drunk and clumsy and ended up smacking his head into a coffee table, the other guy kept saying.."hey man why'd you take her...I wasn't going to do nuffin."

I said, if you weren't going to fuck with her, then why do you care if I put her on the couch? All he said was "Fuck you asshole" and he stormed off to bed.

I laid down next to couch and fell alseep but was soon awakened by the sound of retching. Passed out girl was puking but not waking up, so I turned her over and made sure her airway was clear then carried her to the bathroom so she could lean over the toilet.

She became semi concious enough to finish throwing up in the toilet while I held her hair and tried to clean the puke out of her ears. She once again passed out on the floor, so I decided to sit there and watch her so she wouldn't choke and die.

It was really boring sitting in the restroom for two hours and the smell of half digested fajitas and tequila puke wasn't so pleasant.

I looked over and there was one of those new fangled rechargeable beard trimmers.

I had just grown a beard and it was looking kind of shaggy and scraggly so I decided to give this thing a try. It was a lot sharper, than I imagined and I was more drunk than I felt due to all the adrenaline. Before I knew it, I had shaved my beard into a half mutton chop and had managed to take half my mustache with it.

When I tried to even it out on the other side I went too far down. Everytime I tried to fix the other side, I messed it up even worse than before. By the time I was finished it looked like I had tried to shave on a tilt-a-whirl.

Then just as I was about to just shave the whole thing off, the battery went dead and I couldn't find the charger plug, so I was stuck like that until I could get to a proper razor.

The next morning, I told the girl why she was on the bathroom floor and what the drunk assholes tried to do to her. Luckily she was too hung over to notice my handiwork from the night before.

Lesson learned.



NOT SAFE FOR WORK

Every young girl chugging down tequila at a party should be so lucky to have a guy like you willing to stand guard and clean the puke out of her ears.
Where where you the night my girlfriend and I were playing quarters with shots of kamikazes???? I wasn't assaulted but damn if I didn't crack my nose open on the toilet.

I'm soooo behind here. I was just starting to read the post below and gather my Dem thoughts when this post popped up too. I'll get back to ya, was supposed to be working today. Oops.

She was lucky to have you.

I have a tequila story myself that ended similarly thank god... Which is why I limit myself to one tequila shot a year. On my birthday. That stuff is brutal.

As I have said to my children many, many times...self-inflicted wounds hurt the most! (feel free to borrow this saying at any time!)
Thanks for sharing this story.

The first time I shaved my legs at about 16 I was sober and did it with a regular razor and took an entire 6" long strip of skin off of my shinbone.
Big mistake. Bled for ages.
I used electric razors for years after that.

Aww, the hero with the bad mustache. It takes a stand-up guy to do what you did.

OK its scary enough having three teenage daughters and then you go and tell this story. As if my nightmares weren't enough.

I hope someone is around like you to save them in case I didn't put the fear of God into them.

Nice post, wish there was a picture of the squirel hanging off your face, need the laugh today...

You're a good man Hammer...I had a similar experience once, but no one but me knows about it to this day.

I think I'll go shave my bush!

I have a very healthy respect for Tekillya.
I'll just stick with my whiskey thank you very much.
And that was great of you to watch over that girl.

You're great guy...it's sad to say, but I don't think many would do that for a girl they don't really know.

I wouldn't expect any less out of you Hammer. You're a good man! Adam Sandler cracks me up.

That was really nice of you to protect her like that. The hairs on your chin have grown back a hundred times by now.

I know a girl who got really tanked and shaved off all of her bush. Her husband thought she was nuts.

You are one heck of a good guy.

YOU are one helluva guy, I could have used someone like you about thirty years ago.

Thanks all for the kind words.

I never really thought about that story until was going to write about the beard shaving. Weird how stuff like that comes to the surface.

I don't consider anything I did in that situation special because doing nothing would have been unthinkable.

Oooh, stay away from the bush with the big scissors, is all I'm gonna say. You're a hell of a guy. That's more courage than I probably would have had at that age. She'd a been in trouble. And Sandler's a genious.

I didn't watch the video, too many kiddos running around.

You are my hero. Chivalry is not dead and I am proud of you.

I don't think I've ever tried to shave drunk. Personal hygiene is the last of my priorities when I got a buzz on. That's hilarious.

It was very noble watching over the girl, but next time read the "Don't operate heavy equipment" warning on the tequila bottle.

Good job, Hammer. I usually have a pretty low opinion of humanity, but there really are some exceptions.....

You (and others) are proof....

"By the time I was finished it looked like I had tried to shave on a tilt-a-whirl."

Funniest thing I've seen all day.

A relief, actually, given the title of this post. I thought it was gonna end up more like the video that followed:)

Oh, and good on ya for watching over the little lady.

hammer - youdaman!

girlz - never let one of your female friends tell you, "you're eyebrows are a little bushy - what say we shave them a little?"

that's codespeak for "i hate your effing gutz and i want you to look really, really bad for at least the next month while i steal your boyfriend from you!"

You are a knight in shiny armor! Being a rape survivor this story touched my heart. The men who attacked me were high , homeless men, I had just finished a yoga class but I couldn't fight them off. Every parnet should warn thier daughters don't get drunk among strangers and if you're going to drink follow th epack rule. Have your gal pals watch over you. But you were a darling noble man! Bless you!

It's always interesting to read some of the things that other people have done while drunk. Stupid decisions are a dime a dozen when alcohol begins flowing freely (so I'm told, lol)

You are a nice guy, Hammer! This was a good story. Sadly "acquaintance rape" is very common, you saved that girl from rape AND a Jimi Hendrix ending.

you did a good thing, I hope she learned something from what she narrowly escaped.

I guess any personal care should not be attempted while drunk, huh?

That girl was very lucky to have you around. It sounds like a scary party but at least you had the tilt-a-whirl shave. I hope you took a picture!
