Hey, remember that time...

I had just finished my first gen chem exam during my freshman year in college.  
It was Hard.  With a capital H.
All I wanted to do afterwards was eat soft chew cookies. With milk.
So I went to the grocery store and picked up a pack of Chips Ahoy and a quart of milk.
I ate the cookies.  The milk, I put in the fridge and forgot about it.
A few days later, I got worried that the milk might go bad, so I bought another thing of cookies and this time I drank the milk with them (and yes, I did check the expiration date...and it was still good).
A few hours later, I had all sorts of stomach problems.  Painful and noisy stomach problems.
I thought about the milk being the culprit.
So I called my friend, Chris and told him about how I got gyped by buying fast-expiring milk, even tho it tasted fine.
He said I had lactose intolerance.
I never had problems tolerating lactose-containing foods before.  I refused to believe.
I told him that if I did have lactose intolerance, I'll just keep drinking milk until I grow a tolerance for it.
And so I did.
Bad idea.
Really bad idea.

And that's how I found out that I had lactose intolerance.

The End.
