The week I was hired, I worked my second or third ever shift on a Friday. That day, I dropped two gel tabs of acid at the lunch table in high school. Even though I was still tripping through it, my shift went fine.

Other than the fact that I was not only eating food off of peoples plates... but playing with it. At one of the tables I was supposed to be cleaning, I sat down and was spinning onion rings around on my finger before I'd dip them and eat them. A few of the waitresses got annoyed with me, but I don't think they had idea why I was so smiley.

The next day was a Saturday with a lot of major Derby preps. I had my grandma call in sick for me at the steakhouse -- and I talked my father and grandfather into going to Thistle Downs instead of the simulcast parlor here.

My career as a bus boy lasted about 3 or 4 shifts and less than one week.
That is some funny s.hit...Ok. Since EVD is known for it's big fields, what was the favorites win % in 2011.
