About 10 years ago, Tom, Skipper and I were out on the town at Mary's Cantina in Bastrop Texas. We were playing pool and ruling the table that night and we were getting pretty lit from all the beers we had won. We were staying out on the Colorado river at Skipper's friend Marvin's place. As I said, we were getting pretty drunk and it was almost closing time. I spotted a cute blonde that had been watching the pool games and went and asked her to dance. We danced the last few songs and had a blast. I asked her if she wanted to join us out at the river and she said "Sure thing!" So, she was gathering her things as they called last call and I went and told Tom and Skipper that I had a guest coming with us. Then I made a big mistake...I went to the bathroom before we left. I returned from the restroom and the girl was going out the door. I found Tom and Skipper laughing by the pool table. I said, "What happened?" Tom had told her "You're too damned fat to go to the river with my boy!" Gee thanks Dad!
