For the last five minutes I've been sitting here laughing like a madman at the memory of one time Fool and I were working together at Burger King and trading hits off the helium tank in the stockroom. We used to like to hit the tank and answer the drive-thru with our voices all fucked up. Anyway, one night Fool took a massive hit of helium, but instead of heading for the drive-thru he stumbled into the kitchen and fell to the ground by the broiler/steamer. He was lying there with his eyes twitching and his arms flailing about. He looked like he was having a seizure. Apparently he was conscious, though, for he said in a strangely matter-of-fact voice, "I'm shaking . . ." And I was standing there laughing so goddamn hard that my knees buckled. I've often wished that I had a videotape of that scene--Fool spazzing out on the ground and Flea about to lose his own footing because he's so overcome with laughter.

update: Oh, jebus--I almost forgot the best part. Remember, it was helium that Fool had been sucking down, so his voice was really high like Mickey Mouse. "I'm shaking . . ."
