EDWARDS, Colorado — A drunken man bit off part of his brother-in-law’s ear after an argument, according to an Eagle County Sheriff’s Office report.

Henry T. Benites, 24, bit off part of the ear of Crisoforo Q. Reyes, 27, March 28, the report said.

Benites said the fight started after he had slapped the hand of Reyes’ son when the boy dropped a milkshake, the report said. Benites said Reyes then pushed him twice, the report said.

Benites also cursed several times and said he had beaten up Reyes, the report said. He said he drank seven beers that night, the report said.

Reyes said he punched Benites twice for slapping his son’s hand. Reyes said Benites put him in a headlock and bit off his ear.

Dropped by to see how many Mike Tyson references before posts hit 50. I counted 2 so far. Any bets as to how many there will be?

Been in some beer joints just like the song describes, off manchester street here in Houston.

Is there a Conway’s Red Top in Edwards, Colorado?

If so, I can see why this might happen.
They have the best milkshakes ever (and they’re a Colorado institution).

Hope the BIL isn't a musician, because he's going to have a hard time playing by ear.

Given the indisputable fact that our milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard, I’m glad we weren’t there, ladies.

Guess things might be a bit tense around the Thanksgiving table next year. But then again, isn’t that kind of the norm in a lot of families?
