Hey Sam. Enjoy Mardi Gras. I've got to get to NOLA some day for it.

Along come two NOPD cops and really start to give the guys some flack for the glass bottles: "Where the hell do you two think you are? You're living room" "Who told you you could take glass on our lovely streets" By this time the guys are back peddling and blabbering apologies. One of the cops reached behind his back to ---what looked like--- grab his handcuffs. I really though myself these two were going to spend their Mardi Gras in jail. I saw one of the guys go white at that point. He thought he was going in, too. But what the cop was actually reaching for was a plastic NOPD Mardi Gras cup. He gave one to each guy after scaring the patoushy out of them. |
