Friday night I went to hear a friend play music at a small place in Santa Monica. Before the show I stepped into the bathroom- a very very tiny bathroom. Despite the fact that the bathroom was so small, they still chose to equip it with both a stall and a urinal. When you open the door from the hallway, it opens into the bathroom and swings in all the way to the wall of the stall- this results in boxing in the person standing at the urinal. The guy at the urinal has a wall in front of him, the wall of the stall to his left, the bathroom wall to his right and the bathroom door now behind him as it has swung in from someone entering. Now as I entered and trapped the guy at the urinal, the only place I could step was a small area in front of the stall. I stepped up to this small area, closed the door so the guy could get past and to the sink. As I’m getting out of that guy’s way, the person in the stall opened the stall door (which I was standing right in front of with nowhere to step aside). The stall door swung open and hit me square in the face! And _who_ was it??? Who was the guy who _hit me square in the face with the bathroom stall door_??? It was Jackson Browne :eek: (Mods, see the Spoiler box to justify placement in Cafe Society.) ---
