Man Too Drunk To Notice Knife In Back

With the weekend just hours away, this news story seems pretty appropriate. According to ninemsn.com:

A drunk Russian man rode home on a bus, slept like a log and ate breakfast before his wife alerted him to a 15cm knife in his back.

Yury Lyalin, 53, had been drinking the night before the grisly discovery, when his colleague — who had also been drinking — stabbed him during an argument at work.

In a further bizarre element of the event, Mr Lyalin said he felt no resentment towards his knife-wielding colleague.

"We were drinking and what doesn't happen when you're drunk?" he said.

Let me tell you, the world could use a few more Yuri's running around. We all need to understand that, after a number of beverages, certain things happen. You might forget your wallet at the bar, you might need to go to the bathroom more than usual, or you also might drive a knife into you friend's back. Hey, life is unpredictable. We all need to be a little more understanding with each other and turn the other cheek (just to make sure there's not a knife sticking out of it.)
