All the exams were over and the three friends felt confident that they had passed with flying colours.
Adalbert studied Law every moment he could free himself from the Pub.
Winston felt a calling to become an accountant, or at least, that's how he interpreted the fact that he knew to the penny how much he owed to the inn keeper.
Their newly found Egyptian friend, named "Said" who had arrived last Semester from Cairo, studied Chemistry. Said wanted to become a bomb maker for a group of rebels in his home country.
The three were inseparable and to celebrate their success, they went to their usual hang out, the
Stud "nd Fale.
At about midnight the trio was deep into their cups and was becoming a bit unruly. the inn keeper wanted to throw them out of his establishment, but had not reckoned with the degree of drunkeness of the three students.
Adalbert vaulted the bar and smashed every glass he could lay his hands on.
Winston, at the very top of his voice, sang: "Say it's Only a Paper Moon"..
To every patrons dismay, chagrin, surprise and disgust, Said climbed onto the bar, turned, pulled his trousers down and bared his behind to the assembled multitude. In fact, so witnesses later testified, he did this twice.
The Judge listened to all who bore witness. Having been a student himself, he had some sympathy for the three accused who stood before him rather sheepishly.
Later, to some of his fellow judges he explained the reasons behind the disparate fines levied by him:
Adalbert: Lbs 200.00 to replace the broken crockery.
Winston: Lbs 25.00 to pay for a locksmith needed for singing off key.
The Egyptian was ordered to pay Lbs 5.00 twice:
"Said's only a pay per moon"
