I saved the ribs!
That’s so incredibly stupid.
He could have just told them that there were 4 cases of donuts next to the beer and they would have saved his beer for him.
This reminds me of something that I saw on Youtube recently. It was a thing about Willie Nelson and his guitar “Trigger”
He was talking about his moving back to Texas because his career in Nashville was stagnant back in the late sixties. He said he came home to the house he was renting and saw it was on fire. He said that he ran inside to grab a big bag of weed he had just purchased and just happened to grab the legendary guitar (which wasn’t legendary then) on his way out the door. He said he saw the fire as an omen to get out of Nashville and moved back to Texas after that where his career took off. That guitar became a huge part of his signature sound. Weird how things work out.
