Newsflash: Geno Makes Trouble

This is a story I received from an undisclosed reliable source about Geno making trouble. I was shocked, shocked I tell you. Here is the report in is entirety.





Chronicles of Geno:

Geno, Harry and myself all worked for the same employer in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were in Tulsa doing a job. I worked in the office. First infraction: breaking company policy by seeing each other after work hours (this was a company no no!) and of course none of us have ever seen Geno obey the rules.

So on a Friday night Geno and Harry deemed I should learn to play pool. We set out for a local bar/pool hall, a Cheers kind of place. Second Infraction: So lets just say we weren’t regulars, which was the beginning of the end. Since everyone else knew each other by name.

I picked the pool table and loaded up the juke box with quarters while Harry and Geno decided on drinks at the bar. When they came back to the table Geno notice my keys and asked me if my pepper spray worked. I told him that I had never sprayed the thing. He replied "Sweet how do you know it will work when you need it". I agreed we would try it later, meaning outside. Geno in his thinking said "I wonder what will happen with just one little squirt". I said "Geno, oh no you don't" and took the keys and put them away. I thought! Meanwhile I was enjoying my drink and first lesson at pool.

I notice my keys in Geno’s hand. Third Infraction: Just as I went to say "Don't do it", he pulled the trigger and quickly gave me my keys, so I am trying to figure out were to put them in case they search my bag. I could not breathe, Harry eyes were starting to turn red and tear up, and Geno was fine. Within seconds people were complaining of burning eyes, coughing etc. Of course since we were not regulars at the bar our table was quickly visited by bar management they asked Geno if we sprayed anything inside the bar. Well of course I was just trying to breathe and Harry was looking the other way to avoid eye contact and Geno is just fine. I still cant figure that one out! Geno just looked at them and smiled and said with his innocent face, "No we are just teaching our girl here to play pool".

The next thing, I know the bar is being evaluated, police and fire officers are all over the place with the city’s local gas department. As we were exiting the bar I picked up my beer and took it with me. When we got outside and Geno noticed my beer he said "Sweet that’s against the law". I said "What is?" Geno replied "an open container" of alcohol in a public place. At this point, I just had to ask "Don't you think discharging pepper spray in a public place is a little more on the wrong side of the law?" Oh that wonderful Geno laugh! Even though everyone was told not to leave we slowly made our way back to our vehicle slipped in slowly and drove out of sight. As we left Geno said a bar could be emptied in 3 minutes or less with one pull of the trigger. I guess he just had to know.

However, I also know that if things had gone wrong Geno would have never let me take the fall alone, together in jail with me saying "I told you so!" And him replying but that was "Way Cool". This is one of many! I might consider adding to the Chronicles of Geno.

Hope you enjoy, Sweet
