Drunk on the tram

These are actually my favourite stories. When you're out somewhere with a few friends and one of them starts talking about falling asleep in the train, suddenly everyone can tell a story of himself like that.

This is my favourite, I guess. Mo was downtown with a few mates, got drunk... usual story. Then he took off alone - I don't know whether he was the only one remaining or just wanted to get some sleep.

He caught a train and fell asleep. The ride would take 20 minutes. He woke up after an hour and jumped off the train. He figured he was in the Central Station. I'm quite sure he knew that something somehow went wrong because he was obviously not where he wanted to arrive. No long discussion - a cab would take him home in no longer than 15 minutes.

The next afternoon he woke up, and randomly checked his purse. Oh, yes - "Where did all that money go???"

Mo had only little memories of the night before. He knew that he was in the Central Station and caught a cab...

What he figured retrospectively was actually too funny to believen it: He was in the Central Station - but not in Cologne, as he assumed. While he was asleep in the train, he was covering at least 30 kms between where he arrived and where he thought he was. In fact, he got off the train in Bonn, which is a completely different city, but seems to have a similar Central Station.

So, where the money went? Right, the cab which would normally have costed 20 bucks charged him more than 60 bucks because they had to drive back all the way.

This may sound really freaked out due to Mo not noticing any of that. However, he is convinced that this is what really happened because there is simply no other options how things might have went.

Don't forget to set your alarm clock the next time you're drunk on the train!
