That was actually the second time I’d been gassed. The first was at Va. Tech. Some ROTC guy (we heard) got kicking out of the racing party across the landing. About 8-10 of us (guys and girls) were leaving one of their apartments. We open the door and WHAM!! We shut the door and ran to any water we could find - sinks, bathtub, and 2 guys scooping out of the toilet.
😳😂

There was a guy I didn’t know who’d previously passed out in the couch by the front door. Never woke up. Slept through it.
