Back in ’85 or so I was working in Atlanta, and went to see some Braves games with buddies of mine, one of whom was from northern Ohio. At one game, there was a very loud, very drunk contingent of some rather unkempt, belligerent, wayward southern gentlemen sitting behind us. After a couple of incidents involving them, ourselves and the rest of the crowd around us, my friend stood up, turned around to the crowd and said “And THAT’S why you lost the war.” Uh oh. To my surprise, everyone laughed. Except for the gentlemen, since they were being escorted out by security.
re: crazy mom – she wasn’t intoxicated, she was drunk!
