So I'm at a Rangers-Devils hockey game at the Prudential Center in Newark. It's in between periods and I'm waiting on line in the bathroom and there's a Rangers fan and Devils fan emptying their kidneys right next to each other at the urinal. They're talking some smack back and forth, when all of a sudden the Devils fan, in one of the classiest things I've ever seen in my life, turns his entire body to the left and pisses on the Rangers fan's leg. The Rangers fan promptly hits the Devils fan square on the chin with a left hook that instantly sent the Devs fan into La-La Land, out cold on the piss-soaked men's room floor.
Security responded and detained the Rangers fan, before everyone in the bathroom explained what exactly happened, to which security cuffed the now-barely conscious Devils fan and let the Rangers guy walk away.

This is still probably the funniest thing I have ever seen in my life. A few years ago I was at a Nuggets game and had seats a few rows off the court 'cause my friend got them from work. In typical NBA fashion the refs were terrible and a guy near us really started going in on them. At one point when there was a dead ball and everything was fairly quiet he stands up and yells: "ARE YOU BLIND, REF?! ARE YOU F**KING BLIND!" And not two beats later an actual blind guy one row behind him stands up and says: "YEAH! ARE YOU BLIND OR WHAT?" and then proceeds to hold his hand out for high-fives from everyone around him.
Easily the coolest blind guy ever.

- Dr. Steve
Hi, Jay. How are you today?
- Cutler
Hi, Dr. Steve. I'm okay.
- Dr. Steve
Really? Lovie told me you hurt your knee.
- Cutler
Yeah, I guess so.
- Dr. Steve
You guess so? Lovie said you couldn't go out and play yesterday because of it.
- Cutler
Yeah.
- Dr. Steve
Well, which knee is it? I'll take a look and we'll see what we can do.
- Cutler
It's my left one. Or maybe my right one. I can't really remember.
- Dr. Steve
You can't remember? Well, it can't hurt that bad.
- Cutler
I don't know. I'm pretty tough.
- Dr. Steve
Jay?
- Cutler
Yes, Dr. Steve?
- Dr. Steve
Did you just make up this whole story so you could come here today and get a lollipop?
- Cutler
No.

Jay?

Can I have a lollipop?
- Dr. Steve
Jay, we've talked about how lollipops are bad for you.
- Cutler
But I like lollipops.
- Dr. Steve
But your diabetes, Jay. You can't have them.
- Cutler
I know.
- Dr. Steve
And Jay?
- Cutler
Yeah, Dr. Steve?

You're almost 28 years-old now. I like you. But it's probably time you stop coming to see me. I am a pediatrician. A kid's doctor. The mural on the wall behind you is of a teddy bear holding balloons.
