I had this strange bottle, and the neck was nice n thick n symetrical :( n smooth n stuff, so I made a slide out of it. It was so good that I even had a little pouch made up for it.
Kept it safe for years until, this band I was touring with decided to play an impromtu gig at this outback hotel, a real dive.
After the first set, I put my slide on a window sill behind my amp, on the little stage they had.
I went to drain the weasle and when I got back the slide was gone.
I freaked. I asked the barman about it, he pointed me to the yardman, who laconically told me he'd chucked it in the bin because he thought it was a piece of broken glass. "Lets check the bin then", I said. "Just emptied them", he retorted, "down at the bottle dump".
I ran the 100 metres behind the pub to the bottle dump in desparation, only to see about twenty tons of smashed up glass in a big pile.
I aimlessly wandered around, poking at broken bottles until I finally gave up.
Funny thing is it was all polished and smooth, and looked nothing like a bit of broken glass.
Anyway,,,thems the breaks,,pardon the pun.
