Let's see there are too many to count during my Army stint and Ft Bliss Tx. We spent every weekend in Juarez, Mexico where a "trash can" full of 60 beers was 15.00 and shots ot te-kill-ya were .25. lets just say 2 people 20.00 each one would buy a trash can and the other would give bartender a 20.00 and say keep the shots coming. We would come back over the bridge after sun-up regularly.
There was one time I taught a Mexican girl to say "american" at the border crossing and woke up in the barracks with an illegal girl (citizenship not age). Women were not allowed in the barracks at all. I some how snuck her in (don't remember). I had to sneak her out and drive her to the border where I promptly dropped her off and said "Hasta la vista". As a side note she was much better looking when I taught her to say "American" than she was when I said "Hasta la vista". Tequila has severe vision and judgment altering properties.
One of the best was actually in England. We were there training on a new weapon system with British Aerospace. We were there over the 4th of July. (They don 't actually celebrate it there
) British Aerospace was nice enough to get us a back room of a pub and set up a celebration. They asked us what we wanted to drink. We chose te-kill-ya among other things. Long story short after consuming too much liquid courage we went into the front public section of the pub there ended up being what would amount to an international incident. They did not like the "F___ the queen" remarks and the "we whooped you arse in 1776 and we will damn sure do it again" remarks. Let's just say there was quite a bit of property damage. After they rounded us up and brought us back to the British Military base we grabbed a bottle of Jack and sat in the commanding general's front lawn and pounded it.
We were in quite a bit of trouble and lost a pay grade.
It was worth it
