God bless ye merry gentlemens

God bless ye merry gentlemens - one block from my apartment, on a ritzy block on the greenbelt side of the street, I found the discarded evidence of someone’s merry xmas.  A 4-pack of bacardi coolers sat empty on the curb, three bottles drained and replaced in the cardboard carrier and one slot empty.  Next to it lay two plastic wrappers bearing the proud insignia of the Trojan corporation.  With a mise en scene like that, I can think of a dozen stories that might have played out that night.  It’s how I amuse myself.  The twist: what did they wind up doing with that fourth bottle?
