Living in Thailand can be dangerous at times. Dangerous i hear you
ask? It can be when you know some fellow expats like i do it can.
Take my enlarged drinking associate Dave for instance,an unremarkable
man except for his girth whom was formally addicted to self help
groups..
He has a face like a frightened potato and his bi athletic life befits
him an existence here in Nong Khai as a champion in both drinking and
eating.
Dave's usual day involves one long happy hour and pigging out, but
seemingly his favorite dish is an ashtray.He lives in a room with all
the comforts of a world war 2 Japanese submarine with a leaky hatch
and because his numbers are now dazed i gather his days are numbered
as well. With what Dave sees as a balanced diet as having a beer in
each hand he famously proclaimed to all in Tex's ''last Stand Bar''
one night ''I'm to important to be famous'', sculled one beer and
promptly fell over... With an ambition to die magnificently in debt he
has a wealth of knowledge but no knowledge of wealth. The few friends
he's got he slurred once were not the ones he likes but the ones who
got to him first made me feel a little perplexed but somewhat proud to
be able to grace his presence regularly, with his worldly vision on
life of as knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing he
can be generous to a fault....
Dangerous i hear you thinking to
yourself again,well let me demonstrate. last night with a serious
demonstration against sobriety and a drinks bill that high it should
have been delivered by NASA, into the bar strides the tallest ladyman
I've ever seen, surveying he, her, him, she, it became apparent
because he, her, him, she, it was wearing would you believe 12 inch
high stilettos, it looked like a war painted rabid greyhound on
stilts. Now with sheer dread this knob nibbling semen sucking sperm
sponge saddled up to my side and purred in my ear with a voice similar
to Barry White after 8 bongs '' Would you like some sucky sucky big
boy''. going directly on the defensive i quickly retorted, ''No thanks
penis breath but my mate Dave here might''. Now Dave whom once told me
that from where he come from that murder was regarded as a legitimate
means of career advancement gave me the biggest elbow in the ribs i've
ever had. The xrays will be back tomorrow. .... ( DOWN AND OUT )
