Or there's this story from James Parker, Lead Social Creative at JOE.co.uk (@panoparker)."I was at this house party in Essex, having a good time, drinking a little bit. Things kind of got out of hand and the police turned up at this house party, so we all bailed. We were hopping over fences to get away from police - we could hear the sirens coming down the street and we were not in the right state of mind to be there when the police arrived. "We carried on hopping over the gardens, but my friends stopped as I was climbing to the top of the next gate. I fell over the side of it, and it turns out that it was a local garden centre. There was a fish pond underneath me and I landed in it. It was lovely, had loads of koi, but I accidentally sat on one and killed it. I killed a koi carp with my own behind. "I was immediately caught by security as the alarms went off - I had to actually face the police that evening for trespassing. I was let off because the policeman could not take it seriously, which was hilarious. I got fined £80, which is probably the best I could have gotten out of that situation, and I also had my picture taken at the garden centre. To this day, if you go to Poplar Nurseries there is a picture of my face saying, 'Do not let this man in'."
