the band, the veterans and the drunks
July 8, 2006The youthful drunks set up their beer crates and ball game near the band, which was performing for 300 elderly couples. When the conductor was hit by a ball, the concert-goers were incensed. The band began to play the theme from The Great Escape. Almost as one, 20 audience members, former soldiers many of them, some using walkers, some carrying sticks, got up and marched toward the drunken group.
Even though they outnumbered the veterans by 10, the drunks ran for their lives.
