Mike: Did you hear what John did yesterday?

Friendship Gnome: What did he do?

Mike: After unsuccessfully trying to urinate in a cup, in a moving vehicle, he decided the best idea was to hang the soiled pants outside the window to dry.

Friendship Gnome: Did it work?

Mike: Well considering it was the middle of night and they were driving on a freeway, no it did not. Rejecting the advice of his friends, he ended up with pants that were not only wet, but also extremely cold.

Friendship Gnome: Thats just like him, always pulling a morrison.
