Hookah Stories- Another Disaster

so it was my buddies freshman year and we were all smoking shisha out of his hookah in his dorm room at nyu. his his name was josh and we were all smoking and joking about what we were going to do with our lives. while we were smoking our shisha we were also drinking beers and vodka. people were getting quite tipsy and a little bit out of control. i feared that someone was going to knock the coal off of the hookah on to my buddies brand new shag carpeting but i decided not to say anything as the scene was quite rowdy and i did not want to come across as a downer or a buzz kill. so we continued to smoke our apple melon shisha hooka with about eight people. two other boys started playing rough and were sort pushing each other and playing a little male dominance game. interjected- "watch out for the hookah!" and as those word left my mouth they careened into the hooka and knocked the whole thing over. uh oh. the coal went flying and smashed into the carpet and red sparks flew everywhere. everyone stood in shock as the burning red coal melted into the shag carpet. this was the point where my buddy whose room and hooka it was became enraged. he started yelling and screaming and everyone stood still in astonishment. i tried to explain to people that we need to get the coals off of the ground immediately but no one could find the tongs that had been hurled off of the hookah when it was knocked over. the hole in the shag carpet began to grow and grow and people did not know what to do! people were looking everywhere for the tongs. i finally found the tongs buried underneath the hookah base and we quickly removed the pieces of burning coal form the carpet and brought them immediately to the sink. damage control! we had to cut the burnt part out of the carpet and piece it back together...what a disaster!
