God bless you. Terminal_Chill will be spoken of as we now talk of Galileo.

I guess there's only one way for you to find out. Let us know what you discover.

Really? I would have been very nervous about that. I can see a hotel wanting to have some security to make sure you pay your bill but that's what credit cards are for.

Why does the hotel even have custody of their passports? I've never had to turn my passport over when staying at a hotel. As for how and why they were shredded that's my second question. How did none of that make it into the story?

Here's a perfect example of the line about how "a lie has made it halfway around the world while the truth is still tying its shoes." This idiocy probably started in some grandma's Facebook account in Nebraska and now it's made it over to Ireland.

Agreed. How the hell am I on the hook for someone who is able to pronounce “vodka rocks” then walk away? If I have to lift his head off the bar to ask if he wants another that’s a different story. If this suit collects any money I hope she never sees a penny of it.

Yep. Also a former bartender here. If I served someone who was obviously drunk I could be held liable for what they did when they left the bar. But I believe there would have to be witnesses that the drunk was falling down or stumbling, slurring, etc. and I served them anyway. There was a regular customer who spent six months in jail after his sixth DUI and the night he got out he stumbled into the bar and asked for a scotch rocks. I told him I wasn't serving him because he was too drunk and he responded "No, it's OK. I quit driving." So he had his priorities all set.

He's a LaRouche cultist too. So he's been crazy for awhile. You don't see many of them these days.

So...30 years ago he wore a Nazi uniform to a party (not a rally) and decided to make this announcement? Seems kind of strange to do this out of the blue. Why bring it up?

Well, let's see. You left the BAR and then what happened? Maybe retrace your steps.
