I have an old college roommate that probably took advantage of that deal. This guy lived on White Castle, as did we all. But, because of his size (6'5" and 240 lbs) his alimentary tract was, shall I say, accelerated. This boy could "process" 20 White Castles in a short 4 hour period. Oh yes, he could eat 20 in a setting. His usual number was 21, I asked him once, why an odd number like 21, his reply: "20 isn't enough and 22 would be too many". I stopped questioning after that. You have to admire a man that knows, exactly, his limits.

After Larry's White Castle adventures in nutrition the dorm room would become a gas chamber, with me in it. The whole dorm would have the aroma of a New York sewer. And the sounds....tubas and trombones is all I could think of. The little gut busters effect me the same way but I was a bit more genteel than my buddy Larry. I, at least, went to the bathroom to play the White Castle melody, and lit a cigarette.

I forgot to mention the large quantities of cheap beer that Larry consumed with the WC buffet. Fuel to the fire, as it were.

One last story about the White Castle. The one nearest the Medical School campus in Indianapolis always had the obligatory panhandler around it. He had the cardboard sign and all. One night we stopped there to get some slyders and I took pity on the old fellow. I asked him if I he wanted me to buy him a sack full. He replied, "could ya just give me 5 bucks, those things give me the sh!ts". I gave him the 5 with tears of laughter in my eyes.

How many stories has White Castle generated over the decades?
