"My friends and I decided last minute to go to a Halloween party on campus, but we had no costumes. My friend's boyfriend had just told her he had kidney stones, so she wanted to be a kidney stone, so she and her friend wore black trash bags while my friend and I wore pink sheets because we were the kidneys. Not great-looking costumes, but we won most creative!"
