There is this retired Vietnam veteran, we will call John,  who comes across tough a bit but is actually a big Teddy bear. One day he was telling me this story. There was a Gay bar in Tampa that he frequented. John asked the bar owner that since he comes to his bar that he should start selling Galliano Liquor.

   The owner said “No” John told him his favorite line,  “F**K You! “ He then shouted, “then I will bring my own in dam it!” The next day John arrived at the club with his own bottle and started to enjoy is 1 shot a day from the tall yellow liquor bottle.

     Several months later the club went out of business. It was rumored that a South Tampa bar had acquired the liquor from this closed club.   John walked into this South Tampa Club and ordered a shot of Galliano . Then commented to the young bartender, “it’s my bottle and don’t you dare try to charge me!”

    Of course an argument started. Then John said to squelch the reasoning of his request. “Listen here mother F**kers look at the bottle, my name is on the back of it!” To their surprise there was his name, John written in ink.

    LOL You just can not make this up!!!  Here is a Bonus story for Thanksgiving weekend!

    This above story reminds me of another great memorable funny story. It was my 1st day bartending at Grand Central Station in St. Petersburg on Central Ave. A tall big rimmed hat guy came with a wide smile strolled in at the bar and ordered a beer.  He told me to only charge him $1.00.  There was a key on the register for him he said. I heard hundreds of customers stories to get a free drink!

    I laughed and said, “No way LOL” One look and there was the $1.00 key with his name on it!. He was the pervious owner Wayne of the Club DT’s. In the sales agreement there was a clause that Wayne was to get $1 beers for the rest of his life.

    LOL Wayne was short for Duwayne and DT’s stood for “Duwayne’s Turn” to own the club! Now you know a little St Pete history and the rest of the story!
