I've got a few, but I'll start with this one. This happened in the 90's, so it's history! This took place in San Antonio. I'll say this because I'll be referencing the river walk. I LIKE TEXAS JOHN. DONE LOTS OF WORK THERE, BACK THEN! But, I must say when I was in San Anton, I thought I was in the twilight zone. :uhh: Here it goes.
My crew and I pulled in one afternoon looking to lodge. I called our foreman who was supposed to have us a room reserved, and he told me "something went wrong with the reservations and we are at a different motel." I asked him for location and he told me where they were. We headed across town to the other motel. We signed in got a key and headed into the parking lot which was surrounded by 2 floors of units.
We got to noticing there were posters of women everywhere on all the units. After we unpacked, we went down to our foreman's room and asked him "What's up with all the posters of women (all decked out) all over this motel?" He said, "sorry in advance guys, but those are drag queens
and they're having a beauty contest." I said, why didn't you advance that a half hour ago?? He said, "these were the only vacancies." I thought, were going to jail in Texas and that sucks! :sick:
We went and started our job, came back and there were dudes with wigs dancing in the parking lot. Bunch of them wearing nothing but underwear. A great big Cherokee that worked for me started drinking whiskey and telling them all to put their pants back on. There were at least 50 of them and they were getting pissed. I told my guys to get in the van and we were going to the river walk. Our foreman went with us.
When we got there, the job foreman bet us we couldn't get to the end of the river walk and have 1 drink at every bar on the way. IT WAS ON!
I don't know for sure if we made it to the end, but I think we made it to Mexico!! We were in a Mexican bar having a drink and we were the only white
boys around. We didn't speak Spanish, so that was awkward! There was a Chinese cop sitting next to me and he was drunker than me. He couldn't even sit on his bar stool. He just kept laughing about something.
Next thing I know, one of the Mexicans grab my hand and pull me off my bar stool. Landed flat on my back! FIGHT WAS ON! I dove straight in, fist city! Next thing I know, all my buddies are piled on top of me! I look over at the Mexicans which are now armed with straight razors, and my guys are saying "let's do this some other day." We left and headed across the bridge to the other side of the river and I'm (should be thankful) getting pissed at my buddies. After crossing the bridge, I was drunk enough to believe my foreman was a Mexican and got in a fight with him! Banged up the foreman...
That was one night of hell, all started by a drag queen beauty contest!!
The next day we all made up including the foreman and went on to finish our job and hit the road! :)
