In did not seem plausible to Rock that Michele and Elizabeth truly thought he was drinking his urine. They had gathered with about twenty-five other Little Rock Hash House Harriers at the end of a run, and whereas almost everyone there drank beer from cans provided by the person who had set the run, Rock brought his own lemonade and drank it from a half-liter glass laboratory beaker.
Michele and Elizabeth approached him with their faces scrunched in a way that indicated they were disgusted by something. The reason became clear when Michele asked, "Rock, why are you drinking your own pee?"
"Do what?"
"C'mon, Rock," Elizabeth said. "That's gross."
As he tried to explain, Elizabeth turned and walked away to tell the others.
"No, this is just lemonade," Rock told Michele. "You know, it's Kroger-brand Crystal Lite lemonade. Here, taste it."
Michele did and announced to the group that Rock was not drinking his urine, which pleased him.
He took a moment to examine the beaker and realized why the two women had been mistaken.
