A man shares a humorous anecdote from his past, when he was 18 years old. He went to a nightclub to celebrate getting his driver's license, but didn't have a car. He drank too much, wore an unusual outfit, and tried to talk to a girl. A fight broke out, and he attempted to intervene to help a friend, but got punched in the eyebrow and thrown out of the club by a bouncer. Outside, he was approached by one of the rugby players involved in the fight, who apologized and explained that he loses control when he drinks. The man was then taken to a hospital, where he received stitches and was left with a large bill. He had to go home without money or a shirt, but was left with a funny story to tell.
