The guy who was trapped in an elevator

Der Blogosphere has been full of the stories and time-lapse video of a guy trapped in an elevator for 41 hours a few years ago. I'm sure you've mostly all seen it, so no link here as I'm too lazy to find a good one.

This guy lost his job through the trauma of going through this.

I too have a trapped-in-an-elevator story. I think it may be almost more horrible than this guy's. Many years ago (early 1980's?) I was attending the Mensa gathering in New York City, which was held in that Trump hotel near Grand Central Station on 42nd Street. At the same time as our gathering was an Amway convention. I took an elevator and it got stuck. Imagine being stuck for an hour in an elevator half filled with Mensa members and half filled with Amway salesmen.

It's a wonder any of us got out alive.

After a night of drinking, when you get home you naturally want to get some shut-eye. But if you argued with your drinking buddy, you might find sleeping a bit difficult.
