This one is a favorite of mine that happened to a friend a long time ago.
My friend (We'll call her K) was about to audition to be a music ed major and the day of her audition had come. At the Fine Arts Center she got met with the professor, got her clarinet assembled and warmed up. Before she went in to audition she mentioned to her father that she really wasn't feeling well. He advised to just go through the audition as quickly as possible so she could go home.
After playing her prepared pieces the professor starts to give her a critique and what she could improve on. "Okay, K, let's start here at this double bar line(Keeping in mind that they are almost shoulder to shoulder)..." K turned to voice her agreement when she projectile vomited on the professor. The professor starts to clean himself up and says, "I think we're done here." K replied, "I think so too."
K returned to the hallway and found her father. He asked how it went, to which K said in a matter-of-fact way, "Dad, I threw up on him." Her dad understood that they should make a hasty retreat.
A few weeks later she received a sizable letter from the music department, congratulating her for being accepted into the major!
I guess the lesson is of you want to go far in life, throw up on people?
