After we laughed for a while, we realized we needed some more beer. Jeff had two dollars and tweve cents, and Chet had five bucks. Me, nothing, as usual.We were off. We bought a twelve pack of cheap stuff, then drove to the parking lot of the pool hall. We sat in the car and finished the beer , then went inside. There was Frank, the owner, and two kids playing pinball. We went up to the counter, and Frank gave us a dirty look. "you going to buy something today, or just take away my customers?" He was upset because we hung out here all day collecting money from people then dissapeared. We could'nt help it, it's just what we did. Jeff started talking to him, and I slid off the stool to see what I could gather up. I walked over to the two kids and asked them if they wanted to go to a keg that night. I said there were going to be lots of chicks, and all they had to do was pitch in five bucks each, and they could drink all they wanted. They were a little hesitant, but I finnally got six bucks outta them. We were on our way.
