Turn left !!! alright bear to the right we're almost there ........where are you taking me elmo I asked,why we're going to the best eatin place south of the Rio Grande boy pull in, we're here .......The "OSO Negro Cantina" I said ? dont look like no eatin place to me,well it is sez elmo they'll fix you a steak while I talk to a couple friends of mine.
I get seated in the dimly litted cantina and order a steak while elmo goes to the bar to see a friend of his,I had'nt finished my beer when elmo gets back and sez I hafta go down the road a few minutes,see a friend,he could see the look on my face and started sayin I know I know but It will just take a minute.
Now there are several things you dont do in Mexico # 1 is, be a gringo by yourself,especially in a border town cantina.
But elmo dont listen good and about that time the waiter showed up with my steak, as elmo walked out the door.
I dont spook easy but,being left a foot by myself in a border town cantina on the wrong side of the Rio Grande had me a mite nervous,I just had a gut feeling ........."senor" come quickly its you friend a lady said as she ran up to my table,...hurry senor "es muy importante" the policia have you friend !!! Well that did'nt take long I thought to my self,as I hurried outside,sure enough the police had ole elmo surrounded and hand cuffed and he was sure mad........lemme go you @#%&*#@*&*&^$ meskin $&#@#@*+_^% about that time a paddy wagon pulled up, three mexican police men heaved ole elmo inside and away they went, Im wondering what the Hell is going on,here comes a wrecker hooks on to elmo's truck and away it goes,this aint looking to good I thought.
I asked the police man that was left at the scene what happened ? Where are you taking him I asked ? We take him to jail for alcoholy breath and running over a man said the police man.
About that time I realized I better start thinking fast,I walked back to the cantina and had them call me a cab,as I got on the north side of the river I felt a whole lot better,twenty dollars more and we pull into the ranch......man that ole white Dodge pickup of mine looked so good sitting there I could have kissed it......................good luck
