Watch out! The self imposed alcohol police will be watching what other people are doing at the fair. The hateful busybody is out there.

Thats why the boys hang with Marv. He gets them special parking in the back and sometimes lets them sleep in his motor home if they get too hammered. That is if he is not using the motorhome himself. Wink Wink

Fretful, peevish commenters.
Alexis says
You must be a spy, you know, a busybody that hangs out at the fair monitoring alcohol consumption.
