Why you should never pass out amongst friends
Eddie is the type of guy we all know. He's
that one person that no matter how much or how little he drinks he will always pass out. He will be drinking and cracking jokes one minute and be face down on the floor the next. Well, the people he drinks with grew tired of this and decided to teach him a lesson. They wanted him to realize that if you can't
hold your liquor, you shouldn't be drinking.
Now the people he hangs out with aren't particularly cruel people. They are just everyday guys who like to get together with their friends on Saturdays and have a few drinks. Eddie comes over every weekend without fail and by four in the afternoon he's gone. He'll usually be so wasted that you can step on him and he won't even budge. This led his friends to come up with a great plan.
Since they always get together on Saturdays, they decided to meet on Friday to go over their plans. Frank, Mitch, Jerry, and James all met at Jerry's house at eight o'clock on Friday. They went over several ideas that ranged from ingenious to inhumane. Eventually, they agreed upon what would be best for teaching Eddie a lesson.

Eddie was the first to pull the tab on his beer and failed to notice that everyone else was taking it slower than usual. By the time he worked through a six-pack, the others had barely started on their second beer. Eddie drank about a dozen beers in a three-hour period and eventually laid down in a lawn chair. It took all of five minutes for him to be completely out. The other friends checked to make sure he wasn't going to wake up by flipping him onto his back. Since he didn't stir when they did this they knew it was time to put their plan into action.
They removed his sandal and sock (yes, Eddie was the type of person to wear sandals with socks) and prepared for their work. They began by filling a bucket with water and getting some strips of linen that were coated in plaster of Paris. Then, they soaked the strips in the bucket and began wrapping them around his foot and leg. They made it tight enough that he wouldn't be able to move his foot at all. There were enough strips to completely immobilize his foot. For the final step, Frank grabbed a long sock and pulled it up to Eddie's knee.
