I'm at the grocery store in the liquor storish section (cause really what is there to do in Wyoming but drink) and in front of me, buying some Keystone (ick,) is this kid in a HS letter jacket. I failed to see the year, but displayed proudly on his back, "Wrestling manager."
The check out lady (with frosted tips, a perm AND a Santa hat...the trifecta) says, "You boys getting your drink on tonight?"
The wrestling manager says all sheepishly, "Yeah, but I ain't gettin drunk 'cause I did that once and I don't wanna do it again."
Then they walk out of the store with their Keystone.
Now maybe I am getting old and maybe I'm a little jealous for all the years of non-underage bar drinking my babyface screwed me out of, but I think that if you have a letter jacket on you should be carded. It should be a rule, right next to the "if you are born before this day" calendar....I'm just sayin'.
