Sorry to hear that your local officials decided that you guys were roudy drunks down there in San Joe. Here in San Felipe we are all quiet and
respectable drunks so we get to drink.
The law was never intended to stop the sale of alcohol at election time. Instead it was meant as way for others to make a few bucks for a short period
of time.
Here is how to buy beer on an election day.
1. Look for an old man in a cowboy hat. Some times they are hard to spot. Look in shady spots and listen for the sound of dominos being mixed up.
2. When they are in between games ask the old man if he has any beer to sell. He will say no but that for a hundred pesos he can get you a six pack.
3. Give the old man the money. Don't worry he'll be back, it's where the shade is.
4. The old man will go to the back door of the liquor store that his brother/cousin/nephew, or friend since childhood owns.
5. They will give the old man a dirty look that says something like "what did you do with the last two six packs we sold you an hour ago?". But they
will still sell him more.
6. They will get the beer from a special pile in the store room that doesn't have any "crime scene tape" over it. Only the coolers with tape on them
are off limits.
7. The old man will return with a six for you and a six for the other domino players.
8. If you pass the police on the way out of town, toss an empty can out so they can see that you found beer. The will instantly head to the old mans
house to get a cold one. Don't worry they know how to find the old geezer, he's their uncle.
