A number of years ago (probably 15 or so) before we were married, a buddy and I went on a cruise. One of the excursions we took was a booze cruise in St. Thomas called the Kon Tiki. All the rum punch you can drink. (Parenthetically, even though I don't consider myself very limber, I won a limbo contest).
Anyway, suffice to say both my buddy and I were no worse for the wear. When we got back to the ship, he could barely walk. As we walked down the hallway to our cabin, he simply passed out while walking. For some reason, I found this extremely funny and ran back to the cabin to get a camera to take his picture. When I returned to the scene, the ship's doctor was there trying to figure out if he was alive or dead. I snapped his picture while the doc was looking him over.
We took him back to the cabin, where he slept it off for the entire next day.
I told him the story, but he never believed me. However, later in the cruise all sorts of people pointed at him and whispered. Apparently the "news" had gotten around the ship.
The last night of the cruise we were in the nightclub and several of the officers were there, including the doctor. He came up to my friend and asked him if he recognized him (my friend did not) and said he was glad to see that he was doing better.
When I developed the roll of film, no picture of passed out buddy on the roll.
I guess you had to be there, but the whole thing was pretty funny.
