Scott's Story

A story, hhmm, ok. Once upon a time, a long, long, really long time ago, in a land far, far away, there was this astoundingly astute student with the same name as me. No matter how funny he thought he was, he kept getting put in the dungeon by the evil wizards. He really didn't mind in school suspension because after a while he knew exactly where his desk was going to be and made many friends there. After awhile he figured out how to escape. It was called graduation. He moved to a place called Bullhead city Arizona. His Mexican and Indian friends told him it was where the devil came when it got chilly in hell. Wow!!! It was really hot. His Mexican friends taught him how to drink tequila, which is why he got married. But then he had to stop drinking tequila because he couldn't afford salt and lime. You see, he helped to make 4 daughters, but like everything, time changes what's going on. The daughters grew up and became beautiful women. Married, moved away and gave him many grandchildren. He missed them much but could now afford salt and limes so he got divorced changed his name to Don Quixote and travels the countryside fighting windmills and drinking tequila with his new Mexican friends..... It must be the beginning of an epic story as it seems some may be coming back to read it again. Ok, so Don Quixote gets a job in Laughlin nv. At the same Harrahs the brawl between hells angels and Mongols left 4 dead. It was a pretty wild and exciting place that didn't leave alot for ones imagination. Heart attacks, prostitutes, domestic brawls, bar brawls, more heart attacks, suicides, missing teenagers, missing old people, missing dogs, theft, claims of food poisoning,......there was always some mind bending adventure to be on. If drinking tequila and fighting windmills paid anything at all, Don Quixote would not be working security in a casino on a 3 state border. Needless to say, after a long night, the end of shift was well deserved, but, what do you mean as senior officer and fill in supervisor day shift needed to be covered? Don Q screamed and screamed inside his head, he was so delighted to be able to work another shift as a baby sitter for a bunch of drunk customers. So, finally, home. Uh oh, It looked like the tavern he needed to drive past was empty, and needed company, and with it being 115 outside and the next day off, why not? The rectangular building had a long bar with exit doors on either ...Expand for more
end. And here sits Don Q. Drinking alone with one bourbon, one scotch and one beer. In the far corner sit these 3 guys and a seemingly drunk giggly women. Don Q almost had his first shot to his lips when in walks a guy through the door nearest him and judging from the guys reflection in the mirror as he walked bye,....he was none to happy. Giggles starts screaming, the bar maid is yelling 2 of the guys at the other end of the bar stand up. Evidently giggles was this guys wife who left his 5 and 7 year old sons alone while on a drunk while he was at work. Don Q just wants to finish his drinks but was able to hear all this because everyone stopped yelling when the guy pulled out a handgun. Really not a big deal, it's the tri state area in the middle of the desert and everybody was carrying some kind of gun, and after all, it is arizona. The 2 guys sat down. She's kicking and screaming he's struggling to get her out of there, Don Q wants to finish his freaking drink in peace after a double shift in an alcohol fueled nut house where the crazies get to gamble and then fight everybody because they just blew a 2 week vacation on the craps table on the first day. So, Don Q flashes his casino badge, says he's an off duty sheriff's deputy and tells the guy, "Unfortunately, what you're doing is a felony, kidnapping with a gun is kind of a hard one to get out of. Dude, if you go to jail she's going to have the kids." (This was so much easier than fighting windmills.)The guy swears and turns her loose with a curse. Go Don Q. But now this poor shlep is pretty well in hot water and he didn't even hit her. "Go home, take the bullets out of the gun, go to your mothers house with your kids, put the empty gun in the car glove box and claim it was empty." Thank you Mr. off duty sheriffs deputy !!" Finally, peace and quiet, and drinks waiting. Almost did the glass touch his lips. Suddenly Sheriffs and deputies, burst in from both exits, guns drawn. " " Who called officer in trouble, suspect armed?"..........Well that's just F'n wonderful, Don Q thought, as he quickly downed his drinks and waited for the next question........."Where's the officer?" Don Qs' day was getting better and better. With the last question everyone pointed his way. Oops, they don't like cop impersonators in Arizona. Such was the life of Don Quixote at that time.
