Humble Pie’s 30 DAYS IN THE HOLE enjoyed widespread FM radio play. The supergroup’s record company didn’t release the song as a single, mostly due to its drug-laced lyrics.
“Black Nepalese, it’s got you weak in your knees, it’s just some seeds and dust that you got buzzed on, you know it’s hard to believe, 30 days in the hole.”
The FCC didn’t like that shit in the 70s and now is no different, but getting thrown in the hole isn’t always the result of a drug bust. An Aussie holiday-goer was arrested by Thai police in Phuket for the theft of a branded bar towel. Her friends prtessted to police that this crime was a barroom joke. The local Police-Superintendent was not amused and announced, “This is not a joke. The police do not make allegations without facts to back them up.”
The charges were pressed at the insistence of the bar owner and the woman was kept in custody for 48 hours before release on bail. Her passport has been confiscated by authorites and the Australian embassy is seeking to resolve this issue, but it all goes back to the wanker farang owning the bar.
The owner of the Aussie Bar in Phuket now says he isn’t pressing charges anymore.
Idiot.
All for a 40-baht towel.
30 days in the hole.
All for a towel and a laugh.
Who’s 555 now?
