When I was a WOW, Way Productions spent a week in the city where I was sent. Jamie Louis, bless his heart, left most of a fifth of tequila at our apartment, and I, good little WOW that I was, saved it to bring back and give to him. It was safely locked in my car all during ROA and I ended up bringing it to Fellow Laborers of Ohio, which unfortunately and unbeknownst to me, was a dry operation. As I was unpacking my belongings, my house leader and a couple other third year FLO's saw the tequila, their eye bulging with horror. Calmly, I asked if anyone had a salt shaker, wet my wrist, sprinkled some salt, and took a swig from the bottle. "However," I said, "this belongs to someone at Headquarter and I need to take it up there to him first time I go."
"Uh," said my house leader, "we don't drink in FLO."
"Really? Well, no one told me. I'll just keep this on a top shelf and I know no one will be getting into it then. I'll take it back to Jamie next time I go to HQ." (I was so completely ignorant I didn't realize I couldn't go someplace just because I felt like it.)
Of course, when an official visit was proclaimed, I went looking for the bottle and found that my lovely house leader and thrown it out. I was indignant, to no avail, of course.
Personally, I think FLO would have been a lot more fun if tequila had been a REQUIREMENT!
