Craziest or weirdest situation on tour:
This would probably be a good question for a girl to answer. From a male perspective, I guess something is generally funny if it involves beer or being naked. But when you write about it, it just isn't funny. Strange.

Get dressed, maybe grab a beer, and try to find myself a good spot.
