Jackass: the work edition
It’s kinda like “The Straight Story,” but with a jackass. Oh, wait, is a jackass a mule? Whatever happened to Doctor Cocktail? He could answer that question.
Maday said he lost his driver’s license 10 years ago after he was accused in a hit-and-run, and was having a hard time finding work in Minnesota. He heard that Wyoming had plenty of jobs that paid well.
He set out with two mules. About a month ago, both mules got loose and one was hit by a car. It had to be euthanized.
Maday arrived at the Department of Workforce Services office on Friday morning wearing a torn shirt, dusty blue jeans, spurs and a cowboy hat. Astride his brown and silver mule, Henry, he caused several double-takes.
He didn’t stay long. He said some teenagers had yelled “uncalled for” things at him while he was riding into town the night before.
Lemme guess. They called his mule a donkey? Taking away your driver’s license if you are accused sounds fishy to me, but then again, I don’t even know a donkey from a jackass.
Ted Haigh, aka Dr. Cocktail is alive and well the last I heard. I’ve worked with him on a number of films and have had the great honor of consuming numerous drinks mixed by him. His website is Cocktialdb.com.
P.S. If you have never had a Corpse Reviver number 2, I suggest you check out Ted’s website for the recipe and make yourself one as soon as possible. In my very humble opinion, it is the greatest cocktail on earth.
