Handy Haversack:

One of my Derby memories was going to Belmont for a close friend's bachelor party. Because of its being his bachelor party, the train was not in fact about to leave as he screamed at a few of us that we were about to be left behind. All unknowing, we figured climbing the fence to the tracks was the only way we were going to get the train. At the very top, my boot slipped, and I ended up hanging by the flesh of my right hand from the top of the fence. I managed to free myself, fall back down, start running to the stairs to catch the train, dumping handfuls of blood as I run.

I make the stairs and pass an extremely well dressed older fellow laboring up them. I race past him, stop, come back down, ask if he's like some help up. "Son," he says, "I don't think I'm the one who needs help here." I run on. Make the train before it leaves! Because it doesn't leave for another 15 minutes. Enough time for Dr. Future Brother-in-Law to look at my hand, tell me I hadn't done serious damage, but to get to the hospital for stitches right away.

So already soberer than everyone else since I was trying to make sure my friend and all had a good time, I head from Penn. Sta. to the ER at St. Vincent's. When they hear the story, they give me my 19 stitches in a hurry and send me off. (I cry only when told that my softball season is definitely over.)

So I catch up with the party two hours after leaving them, with only scattered bottles of vodka, urns of schmaltz, and half a potato pancake left on the table of Sammy's Rumanian Steakhouse. Everyone is LOADED. I eventually manage to herd them all out, get the bachelor home (and out of a potted plant), and collapse into a booth at a quiet Village bar for a left-hand pint with two of my friends.

Which is when I learn that the horse I keyed my bets around for the Derby and who made me $200 by placing had had to be killed on the track.

Home. Bed.

Nice story Handy. You lived to tell the tale.

I was at a bachelor party in Las Vegas in October 1999. We were wasted and decided to cross Interstate 15 to get the Stratosphere for all you can eat shrimp brunch. We all played live action Frogger to cross that freeway. Didn’t lose a man. Scaled a 12 foot chain link fence I did fall down a big hill and got pretty scraped up. But alcohol.
