Green Beer

I recently started training as a bartender at a little bar that opens up at 7am for all the 3rd shifters and ambitious alcoholics. Yesterday I helped open the bar, and being the day after St. Patick’s Day, we didn’t get too many customers. But we did have one regular stop in who told me a little story about his St. Patrick’s Day 14 years ago.
He was drinking green beer all day at a bar in Savannah, Georgia when he decided it was time to go. He hopped on his bicycle (non-motorized) and started toward his apartment. After traveling only a few blocks away from the bar he was hit by a drunk driver. He was rushed to a hospital and operated on. The doctors had to cut open his chest for surgery.
When he came to he was in the recovery room. A nurse came in and told him that he had given all the surgeons and nurses quite a scare. She explained to him that when the doctors cut him open they found that all of his organs were dyed green. Something they had never seen before.
