The latest:
A local girl befriended a male newcomer and they were gallivanting
around for several days. One night, the girl had gotten pretty tipsy and
decided to visit one of her favorite venues. She bought her new friend a
few cocktails and shortly departed. About half an hour later, the guy
returned to the same bar and asked if he could get a few more drinks for
the two of them and that he would have her come back in a few minutes to
pay for the drinks. The bartender being side tracked by another
occurrence, went ahead gave him the drinks. After the guy left, the
bartender realized that he had made a mistake. He looked out the door
and saw the guy give the drink to someone else. Knowing he goofed, he
decided to look for that guy after work in attempt to get the money for
the drinks. Later that night, the same guy returned to the establishment
where he told the second bartender on duty that his friend (the local
girl) had gotten a DUI and that he needed to borrow money to bail her
out. The new bartender was worried about her, but new better than to
give him any money. The guy then went to another employee and asked him
for money to bail her out. The guy had no luck! The next day, the girl,
after hearing that she was rumored to be in jail, called everyone to let
them know it was not true! This newcomer was trying to pull some fast
ones! The nerve of some people!!
While pleasantly drifting of to sleep with visions of
Elvis singing and dancing the night away in one of our local bars played
through my head, I was suddenly and rudely awakened by a continuous loud
banging noise coming from the streets below. Not the usual drifting
voices and music that will lull me to sleep. Getting up to investigate
who or what could possibly be so offending on such a wonderful beginning
to St. Patrick's Day, I observed three men across the street kicking and
hitting at something outside a local business. While half-asleep, I
peered down into the street. I watched them as they successfully
completed their task and notice that they are triumphantly taking
pictures of their conquest. An Ice Cream Cone Swirl was proudly
displayed upon the head of one gentleman while his friends took pictures
and congratulated him on his headwear. Making the necessary phone call
to authorities, I continued to watch while they initiated their mission
again. Unable to see what the focus was this time, but after a few
attempts at whatever they were doing, I was soon rewarded by observing
the Cone now proudly displayed upon a second gentleman's head. After
more pictures the three men triumphantly walked down the street
displaying their trophies proudly upon their heads. Then I sleepily
snuggled back into my bed, safe, sound and secure knowing that the Tybee
Police would provide a safe haven for the conquerors and I could drift
off to my dreams again of Elvis, leprechauns and music playing me softly
to sleep.
