Over in San Angelo, Texas, a man needs to tend to his hygiene or there will be no dance partners over at Smoky Joe’s Dancehall and Bait Camp.

SAN ANGELO, Texas – An Andrews man was arrested Sunday for threatening to shoot a local hotel’s front desk clerk because of a lack of fresh towels.

The clerk was working the counter at Super 8 Motel, 410 W. Avenue L, early Sunday morning when he was approached by an angry patron.

Haughton Dean Laurence, 34, the allegedly intoxicated motel guest shouted and cursed at the clerk, requesting room service for towels, then pulled a handgun from behind his back and placed it on the counter.

He didn’t point it at anybody, but he wanted to make sure the towel delivery wasn’t gonna take all damn night.  A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

The police arrived and booked Mr. Laurence into the Tom Green County Jail, where, wouldn’t you just know it, there are no fresh towels.

Thanks to texasmiatafrank for the heads up.
