Title: 3 down, pitcher up!

Roach and PeckFace are standing, with Bud and the overturned table at their
feet.  Roach is holding a pitcher half full of beer in one hand, his beer
mug in the other. PeckFace, arms out, palms up, was apparently splashed with
the other half of the contents from the pitcher.  His white shirt has a large
luteous wet spot from neck to waist.  Bud attempts to pull himself up too
quickly, slips, and looses his footing, and once again falls to his hands and
knees.

At the bar Bell, Sis, and Jane laugh as they exchange high-fives.
"Good move Bud.  Looks like you've found someone who'll share their beer with
you," Jane says.

Ray tosses PeckFace a towel from across the bar but it opens and falls short,
landing over Bud's head.  PeckFace reaches down to retrieve it but as he does,
Bud grabs his wrist, jerks and pulls him down.  Roach, sensing he might be
next to fall, takes a step back, but too late.  He is swept from his feet by
PeckFace as he attempts to kick the table aside so he can stand up.  Roach
topples, but manages to hold the half-full (or empty) pitcher level, and lands
on his butt.
