Now I’m not trying to say that me and my associates drink too much. I’m not saying that at all.

But I will say this…we buy alot of beer from Midtown Package Store. We buy so much beer that all of the cashiers know us on a pretty much first name basis. We buy ALOT of beer.

I bring all of this up as background so you can truly appreciate the following. Me and my associates went to Los Palmas on Thursday afternoon for some margaritas then went to Midtown to get some beer for the weekly showing of Making the Band 2. One of my associates wrote a check because they have a ten dollar minimum on check card purchases. Said associate purchased a six pack of Red Stripe beer.

Yesterday me and the same associates went to get a case of Red Stripe. While in the store, check writing buddy was having trouble locating the Red Stripes. They then asked our cashier buddy, “Hey why don’t you all carry Red Stripe anymore….” This led to puzzlement on the faces of myself, our other associate, and the cashier. The cashier responded, “You bought some Red Stripe yesterday.” Check-writing buddy stated, “That wasn’t here. That was last week or something.” Of course being the man of astute timing that I am, I took the oppurtunity to use my BEST Rick James voice and say, “That was weeks ago muthafucka!!!” The cashier laughed and said, “You even wrote a check.”

This is a true story ya’ll….in ten years I’ll probably be on some Dave Chappelle Jr’s show as a writer/skit-actor. Alcohol is a helluva drink!
