Tourists were treated to a celebrity guest appearance at the pier this evening. The manatee hanging around the fishing center threw on some sandals and a straw hat, and strolled up to the bar.
“It’s hard work being a sea cow. There is only so much sea weed you can eat before you decide it’s time for some 10 cent shrimp and a cold beer,” the Manatee said while signaling to her waitress that she wanted another round.
Fish and Wildlife officers were turning a blind eye to the inebriated marine mammal. “The bar is technically out of our jurisdiction,” officer Stevenson said, “We can let her have a little fun. It’s a long swim back to Florida.”
“Her? Yeah I like the big girls sometimes,” local bar rat Dusty Hills said in reference to the manatee, “She is really tan too. I love that. Those tats are hot too.” Dusty said in reference to her boat motor scars. In his defense, Dusty hasn’t changed his contacts in two months.
