[Dixielandjazz] 86

[Don Ingle]

I comes from the police "Code 86 -- drunk and disorderly."
 From one who knows first hand the need for this code -- not as a 
custmber but as a dispenser who had to put up with some drunken lout. 
(College gigs included barkeepng at time when the gigs were scant.

Slainte m'hath,
Don

In a bar there are several, one being---you can no longer be served, because you are too inebriated or obnoxious and you need to leave. Usually an 86 is only a temporary condition , until the next time, then if a person persists in acting in that manner, a permanent 86 will exclude from being a patron.forever, unless there are some conditions met..
