I’ve heard that an almost stable person could drink a fifth of whiskey in the night, drop a hit of acid in the early morning and still pull off his second day of parachuting during the final week of army jump school.

The rumor is that he swore never to do that again because of his slowed reaction time, but then the rumor is that he did a National Guard helicopter parachute jump many years later in the 1980s fully drunk on Margaritas from the Cadillac Bar in Houston and having been driven to the drop zone just in time to jump with his unit, he again swore that it was insane and vowed to never do that one again either.

...he again swore that it was insane and vowed to never do that one again either.

Some people just never stop living the rumor. ;^)

Damn! That's way above my league. My hat is off to the fellow you're describing -- I can't imagine doing that. No matter how hard I try.

Damn...

I don’t want to be confused with folks here who think LSD is hunky dory.

I did a fair amount of it when I was young...big doses back then.

It is a very toxic drug....extremely potent and should not be trifled with.

...Cadillac Bar in Houston

That got some old synapses firing! My name is (well, probably was) on the wall in that place. Loved the Shooter Lady!

(though I understand it is not the place it used to be...)
