    Default 'Honey, I'm home!!"

    There have been several threads recently about appropriate behavior in Trail towns.

    Here is a story about how NOT to take care of one's banking errands when in Salisbury, Connecticut.

    That is funny. I grew up in Connecticut, You have to have a permit to carry a pistol.
    Of course, If you are going to rob banks I guess you would'nt care about permits.

    No evidence whatsoever he wanted to rob the place.

    After all, he left his coat and his boots by the door.

    I think all he wanted to do was make a snack and crash out, but had trouble finding the kitchen.

    No kidding, I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the concept of finding one's self ripped and torn, especially late at night, but this is a bit over the top.... I suspect the lovely folks down the block at the Ledyard Savings Bank might not appreciate this sort of thing, at least not on a regular basis.

    I think I ate all-you-can-eat Chinese food with him at the Ming Garden restaurant in Waynesboro, VA.

    That guy could put away some sweet and sour pork!

    One of the NY DUI Charges was defended by the now DA for Putnam County NY who also happens to be none other than Judge Judy's son. I am not a pro but i think that Rip may have a bit of a drinking problem?

    Looks like him (a little more ripped and torn).
    Am I the only one who feels bad for the old boozer?

    Come on Tinker get real. when I go up to Salisbury I stay with Maria not at the bank. The bank won't give you a shuttle.

    That's why I keep my head shaved. I am ready for my mug shot any time they finally catch me.

    He had a blood alcohol level of .203 - CT has a legal limit of .08 for comparison.

    Rip was ripped.
