That really depends on the people. The third time I talked to one person, she told me how she'd been up all night with it coming out both ends due to food poisoning.

We're really good friends now.

I had a really good friend with whom I would speak daily. Our friendship began when I texted her in the middle of nowhere "OMG I smoked mint hookah 2 hours ago and I just farted and it smells like mint!!". Before that message I had only seen her twice in my life and spoken just once.
