This is really funny--- Today, I had to get a physical examination for my new job, and part of this is a drug test. So I was supposed to not eat anything for eight hours or more, and I was in the waiting room waiting for the secretary/nurse/whatever-she-was to call me into the office. And I had already filled out all the forms about diseases and potential diseases and any diseases my parents or grandparents or sisters' friends had that put me at greater risk for getting the disease, and so I was sitting there with nothing to do. And since part of the drug test involved peeing in a cup, the secretary/nurse/whatever had instructed me to drink a lot of water while filling out the forms, to save time.
So I was already feeling really healthy and Abe-approved because I had drunken down like 3 bottles of water, and I thought-- okay, why not ingest more stuff, like, air, let's say? Abe would like that. Let's be really healthy. So anyway, I was taking in deep breaths and I got into this rare form (hasn't happened in a while for me) of meditation where I actually started to feel the numbness and all that. (I think it was because I hadn't eaten since the night before) And I was giddy! Meditation always makes me giddy, laughing-giddy. So my luck would have it, just as soon as I stopped with the deep breathing, the nurse/secretary/whatever calls my name! And I'm coming out of this meditation, and my eyes are unfocused and I'm trying to suppress laughter and I have this huge grin on my face! I felt like I was on laughing gas or anasthesia or something. Really weird. I almost fell over trying to stand up off my chair. Luckily I regained full consciousness within a few minutes and was acting more normal. But after the tests, a different lady, a nurse (yes, this time I was sure it was a nurse) stayed afterward and held a conversation with me for like 20 minutes just talking about stuff (vacationing to Aruba, asking me about my college plans, etc.)... maybe trying to see if I was drugged, I don't know? Moral of the story: don't meditate before a drug test!
