A bunch of illegals had come in and were trying to take over the bar and turn it into a Mexican bar.
About 5 or six had surrounded my buddy at the juke box and told him he couldn't play any music except what they wanted.
One of the illegals told another one to go get Big John.
When Big John walked up guess who it was?
My buddy turned around to look at Big John, and Big John almost crapped his pants.
The guys name wasn't John, my buddy had taken to calling him Harold for some reason, said he looked like a Harold.
My buddy reached up and grabbed him by the ear and gave it a good twist and said hello Harald, are these your friends?
My buddy said “Harold you and your friends are going to leave and not come back.”
One of the illegals asked Big John if he was going to let him talk to him like that.
Harold said yes there's two of them in here.
I damn near fell out of my chair laughing.
The bartender lost it when my buddy led Harold out the door by his ear and all the illegals followed.
We drank free beer all night.
Are you pulling my freakin leg??? If not, truth is MUCH more stranger than fiction!
The jute box reminds me of a story about a Citicorp gathering we had at a bar. I put $5 into it, played my songs. They finally came on.
I noticed they were being “skipped”. At first I said WTF and looked over at the jute box. A bunch of black girls (mostly who were friends of the old Citicorp gang) were standing around it and I noticed one with her hand underneath the box.
I asked the bartender what was going on. I put my hard earned money into it and all my songs were being deleted and asked why she was doing that. She informed me there was a button under the box that fast forwarded to the next song.
I was SO pissed. I walked over and started to scream at them and told them they owed me $5 for skipping my songs. Of course it got out of hand and the bouncers came over. I told them what they were doing and I wanted my $5 back.
The bouncers kicked them out and the bar tried to give me my $5 to replay my songs. I refused their money because it was not they who had done it.
I just went and put in another $5 and played my songs.
Sometimes I hate people.
