One night we were heading off for a team dinner and somehow Jeff fell into a fountain. […] He was saturated except for two vital things: his pack of cigarettes in one hand and the team's supply of Cabcharge vouchers in the other. It was hilarious—he was as wet as an otter's pocket but somehow managed to keep his smokes and the vouchers dry.
