Huntington Beach, Summer 1984...
There was almost no wind and the surf was running about 3 feet. Excited as I ran into the Liquor store on PCH, I had visions of workable lefts running through my head. As usual I would fuel up with my standard fare of chocolate milk and 2 packs of mini chocolate donuts. After making my purchase I quickly bolted out the door ready to go! Since there was no time to waste I popped open my milk and took a big chug while crossing the street. Imagine my surprise when a lump of cottage cheese hit the back of my throat! As I gagged to the enjoyment of the drivers waiting at the light I glanced at the expiration date which, of course, was about a week ago...
A few minutes later I was in the water and all was right in the world.
