Terry Kimball got drunk somewhere around St Petersburg a few nights ago and walked to the Taco Bell for some tacos. it was rather late which meant only the drive thru window was open. He was refused service so he dialed 911 to complain. Well let Terry tell the story…
"It’s not an emergency. However, can you — can you put me through to dispatch? I’m at the Taco Bell, and I walked in, and I left my car on purpose, so I wouldn’t drink and drive. I walked up, they wouldn’t serve me. So, I’m at the Taco Bell at 137th and Walsingham and I just want some tacos. That’s it.
You can’t walk up, you’ve got to drive up. You got a get a DUI to get a taco. I got the munchies and I walked a quarter mile from here. Are you going to help me out or do I have to get arrested to get home? You know what I’m saying?"
You know the bottom line here? Sell the man a couple tacos you nitwits. Instead he was arrested for abusing 911.
There was a great book that was much about this very thing. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. It wasn’t that infamous loaf of bread that had Inspector Javert chasing Jean val Jean through the streets and sewers of Paris for 30 years. It was a paperwork parole violation after he had served his 20 years rowing in a prison galley for that loaf of bread.
The book ended well though. In their final confrontation Javert jumped to his death in the Seine realizing he had wasted his life obsessed with BLINDLY GOING BY THE BOOK as Val Jean walked into the sunset.
So, perhaps the manager of this Taco Bell should take a plunge from the Tampa/St Pete toll bridge? Drunk Florida Man Calls 911 Because Taco Bell Won’t Serve Him Tacos
