Had a long life but don't believe it! Althougth you could really see the tension in some people heading to the toilet - especially when this guy in the toilet tried to make conversation with some people....obviously, many are not in a talking mood and some things exchanged made it very clear..
 
ccooper55,

Great post. That's the funniest thing I've ever read on this board.

Was the guy a real lard-ass like "Flounder" in Animal House? Even blowing chunks over dean Wormer doesn't compare to what you lived through.
 
"In China a guy got eaten by a tiger on his way to the exam."

LOL bIGCHIN, i will sue you for stomach pains haha
 
Yes, you're right 'Candidate', there's nothing quite as funny as a mildly racist joke!

I am in good ole BIM. Just did level 1 in June and passed. Been here most of my life with exception of 3 years out studying...
 
This can't touch the emergency colon blowout posted above, but nevertheless I found it peculiar: Waiting on line to get into the L1 test in 2003 in NJ, the Asian guy in front of me is holding his clear plastic bag full of stuff. I brought no food, knowing that there was a mall nearby that was convenient for lunch. This guy had, among other things, 3 bananas, 5 bottles of water, medication, a stuffed animal, a quarter of an onion, bread, and the part that I found hilarious: two (approx.) 12" lengths of at least 3 inch diameter Polish Kielbasa, oozing with juices that were staining the rest of the contents of his case.
Now I love home cookin' as much as the next guy, but...
 
LMAO, thats a good post, is it for real? The stuffed animal part is the kicker.
 
I kid you not, it's true. I'll never forget it. The fact that it was oozing with juice made me think, wow, this guy actually COOKED his kielbasa before the exam, bright and early. What a trooper! But for a guy this devoted to his favorite delicacies, and possessing the analytical mind (he's taking the CFA exam, for Pete's sake), to not foresee the stainage issue was beyond me.
 
I always take Immodium in the morning the day of any long test. It works wonders. Sure you can't **** for a day or two (or even 3). But I think it is well worth it. Also works great before long airline flights. Just knowing I won't have any unexpected trips to the bathroom make me so much more relaxed.

Interesting HeavyMetalCFP: I tried the Immodium trick once and it worked wonders.
 
peter, that juice which was dripping all over his stuff was probably exactly what he needed to 'soften' the cfa experience (read between the lines: a** ramming).
 
here we go. Post #19 on pg 1 is the infamous "sink" story. The very funny "kilbasa" story is up above by Peter.
 
LOL! That post was amazing....definitely one of the funniest things I have read! Laughing out loud, for reals now.
 
Well, for L2 in 2004, the first essay question dealt with expanding upon the dupont formula and deriving sustainable growth. It was a 10 minute question. I completed everything and at the end read �use beginning of year data�.

I proceeded to cross out everything and start again. Took a deep breath and kicked it out.

Always read the questions in their entirety.

Pretty darn funny about the colon blow.
