The Most Interesting Man Alive - Part 2 1/2

OK, more on my friend Dino. I had not heard anything from him since Sunday. He had me mad worried that he was in jail. I must have called and texted him 15 times since then. Anyway, he calls me yesterday, leaves a voicemail. Here is what happened.



Saturday afternoon he is talking to his ex-girlfriend- the one who kicked him out on his ass, causing him to move to Florida in the first place. He is highly intoxicated when on the phone with her, and they get into an argument.  The alcohol in his system starts working its magic, and puts into his head the brilliant idea of flying back to NY to surprise her. So, spur of the moment and black out cocked, he drives to the airport in Orlando, FL. He gets a standby flight for $49 to Cincinnati, Ohio. He takes the plane, arrives in Cincinnati, but can't get a connector flight to NY until much later. Dino gets antsy after an hour or so, and leaves the airport.  He ends up at a local watering hole, where he befriends a bum. He and the bum are smoking cigs, shooting the shit like old 'Nam buddies.  Dino is very good at striking up conversations with, and befriending random people.  Anyway, Dino hawks a loogy on the sidewalk, and then throws his cigarette on the ground, just as some guy is walking by.  The man confronts him about this latter action; and tells him to stop littering.

The bum and Dino are both wasted, and they start talking shit to the guy, threatening him. Well, ladies and gentleman, the man they were ridiculing turns out to be THE MAYOR of fucking Cincinnati. He was just out for a stroll. Anyway, the mayor takes offense to their comments and the police are called. Dino and the bum are taken to the station, and interrogated for Regicide, which is conspiring to harm the Mayor.

Anyway, after a few hours of intense interrogation, Dino asks if he can smoke a cigarette outside. The cops agree. Dino goes outside.....and bolts. Just leaves the scene entirely. He walks to a greyhound bus station, and gets on a bus, which takes him to...Redding, PA. He has no money to go any further, so he finds himself stranded there. Luckily, and oddly, he has family in Redding, PA. He looks them up, and stayed with them for a few days. He got hold of his parents and they wired him money. Now he is back home safely in Clearwater, FL.  A fugitive from the law....but he says that’s all fine, because he gave the cops a bullshit name, and they don’t have his ID. I cannot make this up; this is the kind of shit that happens to me. I guess someone else has my luck too. That is all, have a good night.


Dino is a real character.  Probably wondering what a guy like this does for a living?  Well, I can tell you what he doesn't do for a living, thanks to an interview from Hell he went on.
