In celebration of the bi-
centennial of the birth of
Karl Marx, the man would pen
a note to the board of the
beach association stating
that the rules and regulations
for beach use are petty and
bourgeois and reflect a board
made up of the petite bour-
geoisie and the oppressor
rich and therefore, the pro-
letariat in the beach assoc-
iation should rise up in Marxist
revolt, but his wife reminded
the man that he is middle-class
and retired on a fixed income
so he is the very definition
of the petite bourgeoisie. With
that the man decided to go to
the beach alone as a true believer
and drink a PBR to Marx and
to Cinco de Mayo when the
Mexican army defeated the in-
vading French in 1862, an event
hardly celebrated at all in
Mexico but a wildly popular day
in America for reasons almost
completely unknown to most
Americans and it is now a fact
that it is the day the most
beer is consumed in celebration
of an event about which almost
nothing is known and hardly
anyone cares except the petite
bourgioisie has an excuse
to drink lots of beer without
the due appreciation of Mexico’s
victory, and so the man hoisted
his bottle to the rise of the
proletariat and the victory of
the Mexican army when behind
the man a voice was heard
to say with the scariness of
the Gestapo, “No glass bottles
are allowed on the beach.”
