"Getting Noticed," or "The Retching Damsel in Distress"

Warning: gross imagery impending!

Walking out of the tucked-away Nolte Center this afternoon with belly full of foodstuffs, I witnessed a young lass vomiting openly and wantonly upon the root of a tree. Honestly, I’ve never seen so much continuous liquid come from anyone’s mouth.  

But that’s beside the point.  

What is the social decorum when it comes to a vomiting member of the opposite sex?  Note how I make the opposite sex distinction.  I know that if I were to become positively and projectiletively ill in public—although I would probably be more discreet than the aforementioned soul—I would not want any girl to notice.  At least I would want to believe that no girl saw me do that.  

Therefore, I looked straight ahead and donned an expression of kind indifference.  I think I made a convincing so-what-I-see-vomiting-all-the-time passerby.  However, I did watch over my shoulder as I walked away to make sure she didn’t pass out or anything.

Today has been the best day in a long time, I haven't been able to stop laughing. And of course you never disapoint. I think you handled it like a perfect gentleman. :) Though I'm not sure if I'd be eating there again ;)

Uh, I wasn't aware of a game night taking place this weekend. I won't be around all weekend but you'll have to talk to my roomies. Maybe they have something up their sleeves?
