Why You Should Not Do Shots
Noone has ever given me a really good reason not to do shots. They taste so good, they go down so smooth, so if some other person buys them for you, then why not?
Well, because you may be out one night, after watching a rousing game of Lacrosse (Go Rock!).
You may meet someone.
That person may be very good-looking. Perhaps he even looks a bit like Chris Martin.
He may have what a great job with the one of the best and coolest companies in the world. Like Google. In Manhattan.
He may even (*shock, gasp*) seem to be genuinely interested in you. Perhaps you have a conversation about how cool statistics can be, without it ending with him saying "So... I have to go over here now..."
But then your friends buy you some shots.
And his friends buy you some shots.
And, while you can carry yourself well enough to know that you are not making an ass of yourself, you may, inadvertently, become just a little blonder. Maybe your intelligence is slightly masked. You may forget things.
And maybe, as you step into a cab after going with him and his friends for Chinese 'til 4am, it may take you 3 blocks until you realize that you didn't give him any contact information. Like an email address. Or a phone number. Or a last name.
And then you are stuck wondering if you gave him enough information to Google you successfully.
Now that wouldn't be very good, would it?
Moral of the story: you should not do shots.

This is why you get business cards. And, if I am the norm (which, actually, I doubt) you get even MORE likely to hand them out when you've been drinking.
Oh. Maybe that's not so good.
awww! But how hard can it be to google someone who works for google?
