Let me take you down, cos I'm going to
Strawberry fields ..
I'm writing between seminars to report something ridiculous. I want it to be known from the outset that this is absolutely truthful and I'm re-telling it to the best of my memory.
I was just hanging outside the union, when a bunch of very sweaty gym guys, wearing shorts and t-shirts, one with a towel round his neck came and stood near me, clearly having just finished a work out. They started chatting, and to cut a long story short, one of the guys was very into rowing and weightlifting, and after a really intense workout probably involving a lot of sweating and grunting and adrenaline, he'd take a modified form of GHB, or the date rape drug, to bring him back down a bit. A quick bit of research online tells me this technique isn't actually as far-fetched as it sounds. This is kinda what grabbed my attention.
Anyway, they started talking about how it could be used as a date rape drug. The first guys just kind of have a general debate, and the weight-lifter rowing guy suddenly pipes up with - no word of a lie -:
"I have no idea why anyone would use it. Whenever I take it, it just makes me knackered, I'd hardly be in the mood to rape anyone."
