Old Joe live down the street at 1326 Mayfair drive, and everyone knew him.
He liked the drink sure enough.
Sports games and holidays with friends, weekends, aww heck even five whiskey lunches with the boys and then back to work driving that rig around.
And when he drank he got loud.
His boys were a tight bunch loud and boisterous and Joe got emboldened by that.
He wanted to stay on top.
A curious sense of humor, and a different personality.
All the local knew when to stay away when he was on that level.
Joe liked to mess around with strangers a bit.
Couldn't keep his own hands to himself.
No harm done, usually, but it sure shook up a few people along the way.
Push off someone's hat, flip up a skirt, open a car door and jump in, jump on their hood like a monkey, pour some red juice on a white dress, grab someones suitcase or stroller and watch them squirm, steal a pie in a window, pumpkins and holloween were the worst.
When he was snookered he'd say "hey fellas hold my beer and watch this"!
Everybody in town but those strangers knew to stay out of Old Joe's way.
But then all his boys started doing the same things.
There were now 20 new Joes walking around at any moment.
The townspeople had to stay sharp if they wanted their groceries to make it back home safely.
They just couldn't take a joke.
