Ya Gotta Love A Drunk

So, just spent Friday and Saturday down in Flagstaff kilted. Kilted at the docs, around town, at restaurants - nary a kilt comment - Flagstaff is a kilt friendly town.

Got back home to Page, AZ this afternoon and stopped at the supermarket for grub and a drunk sort of staggers up to me. We know each other from his very frequent visits to the detox unit I manage. He says, "Nice skirt, I like it."

So I politely told him, "Its called a kilt"...then said, "But they should have called it a 'Girl Getter.'"

That puzzled his besotted mind - but I like the response he helped me create.

Gonna try the response, "Its my Girl Getter" a few more times and see how it plays out.

Reminds me of the rhyme we used to recite back in uni.

When we drink, we get drunk.
When we get drunk, we go to sleep.
When we go to sleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So let's all get drunk and go to heaven!

Bravo! I had a client who saw me on the street one day and who, as usual was drunk. "Pete, I used to think you were a p---y, wearing that bow tie but you're all right! Nobody ever fought for me in court like you." Dead now at too young an age, I always wonder what he would have said if he saw me kilted!

I don't drink any more, either. Or any less, for that matter... All things in moderation. A shot here, a shot there... a bottle of 15 year Highland Park will last me 4 or 5 months.

Ya... I guess the gods didn't put that part of my brain back in after they chopped it into little pieces.

I still drink coffee, though.

When I read the first sentence of Ron's post I thought to myself (who else?), "Docs? There's no docks in Flagstaff!" Then I read it again.

Will the drunk man remember what you told him the next time you see him?

When I was in Page earlier this summer, I went to the park after dark to practice my pipes, and a whole contingent of Page High School students descended on me to ask about my pipes, saying that they played in bands (high school marching type) but had never seen pipes before. They were quite a delightful bunch.
