Late Beer Delivery Causes Widespread Panic A delivery of beer that was supposed to arrive a Jimbo's Beer Shack at 2:45 PM Monday didn't arrive until 2:58 PM, plunging the Shack into thirteen minutes of chaos. A riot began and did not end until the beer finally arrived. The violence caused $4.35 (plus tax) in damage, the cost of the several nails and bottle of glue that Jimbo needed to purchase to make repairs."We all watched nervously as the sixty seconds of 2:45 ticked by," said a customer. "If the delivery didn't arrive, we would only have enough beer left for nine more days. I think it's pretty easy to see why we reacted as we did when 2:46 arrived." Even Jimbo lost control of himself momentarily. "At first I was throwing chairs and breaking bottles just like everyone else," he said. "But then I realized that we might damage the precious little beer we already had, so I decided to take control of the situation" Jimbo had his robotic bartender, Machine, fire tear gas canisters around the Shack. "But then he fired a rubber bullet at my eye, so I punched him, which really hurt my hand," said Jimbo. Jimbo then deactivated Machine and took matters into his own hands by running around the Beer Shack swinging a baseball bat everywhere. When the beer delivery finally arrived after a few agonizing minutes, the Beer Shack customers righted everything that was knocked over and joyously returned to their wasted existence. |
