A Crossed Rubicon
Isn't it funny what alcohol
does to folks?
A man at the bar is so drunk
out of his mind he generously
spills some long-held secrets
of his, unbeknownst to him.
He gives up even some
his better half would kill him for.
He vomits them on himself
and all over his bartender friend...
who loves to gossip. Imagine that!
Realizing his obvious blunder,
he barks his admonition to her...
"You better not tell!"
Oops, it's much too late.
Poor fella.
Even before he sobers up
all his rotten secrets have been
laid bare. Everyone in and out
the bar, including his wife, knows.
