Berserk Briefs by Dan Sroka

Buckminster walked in the bar half drunk. The usual 11:00 am crowd was evident, but there was a pretty young girl in one booth alone. Feeling his testosterone oats, Buckminster approached the babe and asked her to buy him a drink. “No thanks” she responded, “I’m waiting for my friend. Besides, you are not my type.” Buckminster scowled, muttering something like “cock sucking mother fucker” and walked over the the bar where the other bums sat. Moving slowly, seeing double and triple images, he tripped on a beer bottle and fell, busting his head open on the edge of the bar. The drunks laughed hysterically at the idiot, as he wallowed in his blood and the filth accumulated on the floor. “Throw the bum out of here” chanted the boys. Just then the pretty young girl jumped up and kicked Buckminster square in the balls with one of her platform high heels. The bar room boys/drunks then grabbed his ass and tossed him out into the street. The cops came by and saw Buckminster, laying on the cement, covered in blood. They took him to jail just in time for lunch.
