Wow, this brings back a memory. I think you'll enjoy the story.
I once had a root canal done, and the dentist prescribed me Vicodin. The prescription said "take two pills," with each one being 1 g. Well, I took them until I ran out. I was still getting toothaches, so I went to pick up another package, but the pharmacy only had packages of 2 g pills. I said "fine."
One night, before going out with friends, I took my usual amount, so a toothache wouldn't sneak up on me. Now, I took two pills, just as I've done before, since it was a mechanical habit by then. Except this time, they were 2 g each, not 1 g; so the total dose amounted to 4 g!
As we drove to an entertainment center (it had pool, bowling, etc.), I felt an ethereal trance come over me. It was really weird, but felt amazingly good. Plus, the weather was in the 70's, which felt very comfortable. As we stood in front of the entrance, my friends went aside somewhere, while I stood where I was, smoking a cigarette.
Suddenly, I saw a girl my age standing nearby, smoking as well. I turned to her, and said: "Wow, the weather feels so nice today. Sure is rare this time of year." (It was July.) She said: "Yeah. Nice to get out of the house on a day like this." We talked for about five more minutes, with her smiling quite a bit, until her friends pulled up in a car. She said something in the line of "Thanks for keeping me company," briefly touched me on the arm, and got in the car.
At that point, my friends (who apparently were trying to decide on pool vs. bowling), turned to me, and said: "Wow, what you did there was amazing. We've never seen you like this. How did you pull that off?" Still in my Vicondin-induced trance, I said: "Well, she was so friendly", which I'm guessing didn't answer their question. For the rest of the night, I had difficulty concentrating.
