Another crazy thing that could only happen to me.......
I went to my dear friend Cory's, Friday evening, for a lovely, informal, gathering of friends, while there, I stepped outside for a nicotine fix, joining two of Cory's friends who I had met previously but didn't know overly well. Well the boys were trading stories about piercing and tattoos, and I having a few of the former joined in the discussion, which quickly turned into a tale of fighting (typical male conversation while drunk, how to inflict pain on oneself or another).
Now one of the young men we'll call "Yoshi" was telling a story about his friend "Iggy" (only in Cape Breton or on Nintendo would guys named Iggy and Yoshi be friends), and how poor Iggy had almost been involved in a fight one dark night.
It seems "Iggy" has a few piercings and was in a pizza shop one evening with "Yoshi" and another gentleman, who was also in the shop, telling a tale to some colleagues, but the gentleman was a "hand-talker" and had swung his arm back and knocked "Iggy" in the throat. Now "Iggy" apparently was slightly upset and used some colorful and harsh words to try and convince the man that swinging his arms around while telling a story, while being intoxicated, in a pizza shop, was a rather poor idea considering everyone else in the shop was also intoxicated.
The man didn't enjoy being told by this young gentleman what he could and could not do so he got in "Iggy's" face and told him so, in not the politest of ways. He was in such close proximity to "Iggy" that "Iggy" leaned forward slightly and kissed the man on the face, who was so shocked he back away and then cocked his arm to plunge it forward into "Iggy's face"..................
EXCEPT!
In pulling his arm backwards, he hit the girl behind him in the face........
EXCEPT!
While "Yoshi" was telling this story, he was also re-enacting it also......
I ended up becoming part of the show, and his elbow knocked my bottle of beer square into my mouth which in turn chipped my tooth and cut my lip on either side. He then proceeded to apologize profusely and I didn't learn how the tale ended until I had applied some ice, told Yoshi I wasn't angry 5000 times and had another cigarette.
In case you are curious..........
The girl from the pizza shop ended up beating the crap out of the guy that was swinging his arms around, so "Iggy" just went on his merry way.
The moral of the story boys and girls.....
I should quit fucking smoking!
