Back when I was in college, one of the fraternities had rented this small bungalow in Margate NJ across the street from Maloney's Bar. We staggered from bar to bar ... by the time we returned to the house both bedrooms were full wall to wall ... someone was sleeping in the tub .... the living room was a "carpet" of people sleeping everywhere. I tried to find a place on the floor in the living room but people kept on stepping on me as they went to the bathroom .... I finally got up, went into the kitchen ... crawled under the kitchemn table and curled up in a beach towel and slept on the dirtest/stickiest lanoleum floor I had ever seen (you expect frat boys to clean???). Never knew how many people slept there that night, 15 ... 20 ... 25 ... 30????

Then there was the time in Wildwood NJ that I left a bar and slept on a telephone company switch gear box behind said bar .... I awoke in the morning in a drizzling rain when the sun came up.

So while "Margate" had the most people involved ... that switch gear box was small, cold, hard, wet and damn uncomfortable .....

The Good ol' Days .....when one was young and foolish.
