The Beer Traveller

We decided since the weather still sucked & it was early to stop into another pub before heading back stateside. I believe the phrase was we’ll just stop for one. I should have known things would be a little weird when the pub named the Speckled Hen was out of…you guessed it, Speckled Hen! No worries, they had a wide array of English, Irish, & Belgium Beers on tap. I ended up doing a Smithwicks, Kilkenny,& Hoeegarden. The Hoeegarden coming in the form of a 23 oz fishbowl.
The real entertainment came from a newlywed couple, Scott & Shauna, who were on their honeymoon & staying across the street. They apparently decided to stop in for one also. But from the looks of things Scott had been having 1 every 1/2 hr since breakfast. We weren’t part of the tab;e that they had joined & it’s a little tough to describe unless you were there so I was just give you some quotes that we heard:

Scott: I’m trying to make you more palatable to the female species.
Female (non-bride): Make the male species more intelligent.
Scott: The male species are idots!
—
Male: Even a stray cat will drink tainted milk.
Female: Stray cat or stray pussy?
—
Scott: Meowwww!
Female (non-bride): We’re Lions!
—
Shauna (wife of Scott): If it makes you feel better I married that god-damn thing!
—
Scott (to female non-bride, in front of bride): I should have married you in the 1st place.
—
Scott (to female non-bride): If you would have said I want a German beer, I would have put things in your mouth that I wouldn’t put in my hand.
—
Scott (to female): Best of luck finding a man to eat.

The night than ended with me getting lectured by the US customs agent about not having my passport. When I say lectured, stern talking to about not having my passport. I mean I realize you have a job to do, but I’m in the car w/ my 2 parents & sister…all with the same last name.
