Three good ones! A man in England was in a car accident … and woke up speaking fluent French and believing he was Mathew McConaughey. 25 year-old Rory Curtis was involved in a six-car pile up that resulted in serious injuries including a brain hemorrhage that left him in a coma for six days. When he awoke, he was speaking French – a language he hadnt studied since high school – and believing he was Matthew McConaughey and had to get back on set where he was making a movie. In my head I thought I was Matthew McConaughey, Curtis said. When I went to the toilet, I went to look in the mirror and I was shocked because I didnt look like him, I didnt know what I was looking at. Curtis has made a miraculous recovery … and now realizes he is not the Oscar winner. But the accident did leave him with a new outlook on life. “I can’t leave the house now without telling everyone I love them and giving them a hug,” he says. A Utah man was hospitalized after chugging too much egg nog. But it’s not what you think … this egg nog wasn’t even spiked. Ryan Roche was in an egg nog chugging contest at an office party earlier this month, and he drank it so fast that he actually he inhaled some of the liquid into his lungs. Roche downed a quart of eggnog in 12 seconds without taking a breath but soon began gasping for air. A few hours later he was shaking uncontrollably and was rushed to the hospital. Doctors said he had breathed the egg nog into his lungs and was essentially dry drowning. They pretty much had to wheelchair me in, double IV, oxygen, and hooked me up to what they call the nuclear weapon of antibiotics, Roche said. After three days in the hospital he was taken off oxygen and was able to go home. It took him a week to get back to full strength. It was rough, Roche said. Eggnog: not ideal for the lungs. Some benders are more complicated – and more expensive – than others. A British man was drinking with friends when he got the bright idea to hop on a ferry and visit France because cigarettes are cheaper there. Without ever being stopped by border security, 48-year-old Shawn Smith just went about his business, visiting a 24-hour supermarket and buying a year’s supply of smokes – and then headed home. Except, he didn’t have a passport, which was a huge problem for French customs officers. Maybe it was the beer talking, but Smith said that up until that day, he believed British citizens didn’t need identification in order to travel throughout Europe. He was wrong about that – and was ordered to travel 180 miles to the British Consulate in Paris, where he paid about $150 for a passport. Because Smith was actually born in Germany, his passport was even more delayed. Over a week later and around $700 in living expenses, Smith finally crossed the French border and arrived home with passport in hand. That’s a rather expensive hangover. But at least he got his cigarettes.
