Bubble: Drunks & Other Stupid Jerks

In recognition of state Sen. John McGee's recent arrest on charges of DUI/grand theft auto, Bubblehead/The Stupid Shall Be Punished published a post, "Stupid Drunk Tricks." In it, he recalls destroying an outhouse as part of the "drunken celebration after the Activities Banquet my senior year in high school." In the Navy, he writes he was able to "avoid doing really stupid things when I was drunk, but I did have some shipmates who weren't so lucky." He was on inport duty on the USS John C. Stennis in 2000 in Dubai when "we got a call that one of the pilots from the Marine squadron was in jail in Dubai. It turns out that he had stolen a hotel courtesy van and driven it lots of places where he wasn't supposed to, and ended up mooning the Dubai cops who came to arrest him. The upshot was that the Admiral had to come off the golf course to apologize personally to the Chief of Police in order to get him released back to our custody." More here (make sure you read the comments).

Question: What's the dumbest thing that you've done while drunk (that you feel safe to share)?
