Bill Cady, The Early Years … by Bill Cady <strong>149</strong><br />

Christmas cards from Kathy Hatfield in Stroh customer service, I eventually had to make<br />

the switch. When I was fifty-one, I changed to Pabst Genuine Draft beer.<br />

In any event, one night when I was fifteen, I‟d already consumed at least a dozen<br />

little soldiers from the Stroh Brewery. Then, much to my regret, I had the guys drop me<br />

off at home. Fuckin‟ curfew! I hate it!<br />

I came in the house mad. <strong>My</strong> old man was still up. Asked me if I‟d been<br />

drinking. Too bad they didn‟t have that “Doh!” expression back then, or even “Duh!”,<br />

„cause I‟d‟ve used it. Instead, I made up my own response. “What the fuck do you<br />

think?”<br />

cease?<br />

Believe it or not, that didn‟t go over too well. He got pissed. Will wonders never<br />

He ordered me to bed.<br />

The Stroh‟s soldiers offered suggestions in my ear, and I took one. “Just go fuck<br />

yourself, okay?”<br />

That got him mad. Now he really ordered me to go to bed.<br />

In response, I told him to really go fuck himself.<br />

Mom was up by that time. Therefore, Dad had to stand strong and show his<br />

woman he was still the man of the house.<br />

I‟d decided I‟d had all of this shit I planned to take. I knew where the guys were<br />

going, and was willing to walk a couple miles if I had to. Anything to get the hell out of<br />

there and away from him.<br />

Mom wanted me to go to bed, but he was now playing the tough guy. He said if I<br />

didn‟t go to bed, (I now slept in the basement), he was gonna put me there.<br />
