A dumpster date

Yes, that is a blow up, full sized male party doll, affectionately named Pedro, and Pedro gets around.

An OSJ reader, who requests anonymity, tells the story of a married friend visiting St. John without her husband. She brought her date, Pedro in his place.

“Pedro had lots of fun with us that week, diving off balconies into the pool, hiding in closets and dressing for dinner, but with all his rough adventures, he developed a slow leak,” says anonymous reader. “We decided Pedro must go to the dump, so we packaged him carefully in his original box and put him in the dumpster at Love City Mini Mart, and went to Island Blues for lunch. Not 10 minutes later, a Coral Bay lady came in, proudly displaying her dumpster find and proceeded to blow him up. I am sure Pedro had many more adventures on St. John after that,” she says.

Sadly, we hear after a series of failed construction, retail and bartending jobs, Pedro spiraled into inevitable alcoholism before his parents finally sent him a one-way ticket home.

    St. John has consumed men mightier than Pedro.

    “Invite John or Judy to your next party”.

    Seriously…if anyone out here thinks an inflatable doll with a mustache should be named Judy, they may need a lot of help. And I’m not talking “drink some rum and laugh” help, but more like “medication, showers, and electroshock therapy” help.

    Then again…Judy may be Italian.

    (I can say that…I am Italian and had aunts with more awesome facial hair than I could ever dream of having)

    Hmmm, was Pedro washed before he was so neatly placed back in his box? Ya know, I’m just wondering how he developed that slow leak?….

    We, at Island Blues, have a policy of “Don’t ask, Don’t tell” :>) But, please don’t inflate your boy toys in public!!

    Pedro is back already. I saw him in the park today, then he got on the bus to Coral Bay.

    A used life sized blow up doll?! Eww!!! Isn’t this how the plague spread? It’s funny, because if it was a kids toy in the dumpster, no one would DARE let their kid play with it, but drunken adults blow the thing up. Eww, yuck and damn!
