Keeping that story around for your grand kids some day is no longer the best thing to do. Everyone has heard the line 'you should do it...it's something to tell your grand kids.' Most smart people realize that they will forget the story altogether before their grandchildren are born. There is no sense in doing something anymore just for the sake of being able to brag about it in thirty years. By then the sun will have disappeared and we will be living like cavemen. No one will believe you.
Your grand kids most likely won't be paying attention to the story in thirty years. They will have a life and your story will seem ridiculous because it happened so long ago. Your grandchildren might ask: "Were people even alive back then?"
Don't wait so many years to become a storyteller. Live in the moment is the best advice although it is so outdated. Do your stupid outrageous act and try to remember it in a few months. Share it with your friends when you are drunk at a party. Repeat it over and over again while spit flies out of your mouth and then you drop your glass on the floor. It can be funny over and over again.
When it's time to tell that story years from now, your grand kids will respond: "What? Get grandpa another shot of bourbon." By that time you will have forgotten the story of how the speeding train ran over your legs and then will probably have shit your pants. Got doo? Yes, and plenty of it inside your diaper.
