Amazing CzEnglish Tales 5 - Part 2

Now that I was literally stuck in this steel cage, which was sandwiched between the first entrance door to this "pub" and still another steel door which actually led into this establishment, I could only hope and pray that someone "cared enough" to come to my rescue.

There was certainly no way out of this situation, without some "insider" help.

I wondered, WHAT were those two muscular guys "thinking" when they referred me to this place?

If trying to go sit somewhere just to have a beer was always this trying, I wouldn’t bother. Being American, I’m perfectly comfortable drinking either Pepsi or any Czech beer.

After what seemed like an eternity standing there in the dark, I heard a buzzing noise. It was emanating from this second door.

Entering the "pub"
Even I was smart enough to realize, "this is my chance to escape," so I immediately grabbed the door and pushed it as fast and as hard as I could.

Luckily for me, it opened outwards, and in a split second I found myself suddenly standing at the top of some stairs, which obviously led down to this "pub."

WHAT is this place?
As my eyes adjusted to the very different light which was suddenly overwhelming me, I saw a poster of naked young men, all in shadow form. There must have been 25 of them on this poster. I had never seen a poster like this before, and I thought, "What or who would ever want such a thing?"

As I bounded down the stairs, thinking this might be some sort of "art" in someone else’s mind, after all this is "cultured" Europe, I finally reached the bottom of the stairs when I was stopped by one of the biggest, most muscular men I ever saw. Quickly sauntering right up next to him was one of the skinniest guys on this planet.

Standing together, these two men were quite a sight. It was something right out of a Hollywood movie, only this was real! These two men were amazing to watch, they men couldn’t have contrasted each other more. They were amazing to observe.

. Jokes of the Day: MORE "Dumb" Laws

Here’s more of those "unique" laws which exist in the USA, along with some commentary.

1. It is illegal in Missouri to sit on the curb and drink beer from a bucket.

Comment: WHO would WANT to drink American beer, let alone from a bucket?!

2. In Maryland, it’s illegal to take your pet lion to the movies.

Comment: Obviously, with an enormous lion population in Chicago, second only to Africa, politicians felt this was a "serious problem." It is amazing people elect officials who "worry" about this.

3. In Oxford, Ohio, it is illegal for a woman to take off her clothes in front of photos of men.

Comment: Obviously, REAL men didn’t write and pass this law!
