Those who like to live dangerously would have felt right at home at a party in Betoota’s French Quarter on Friday afternoon.
Arriving with a slab of silver bullets and pouch of inmate tobacco, partygoer Erin Trace (28) knocked back her first tinnie before taking a seat, lighting a dart and using her empty as an ashtray.
It was at this point that many of the other guests went on high alert, aware the party was now a dangerous game of ash roulette, a game in which there were no winners.
“She could at least ash around the top so we can tell by looking,” stated one concerned guest.
“But she is dipping the tip of her cigarette into the empty then flicking it so it leaves no trace. That looks like such a pain in the ass, why the fuck is she doing it this way?”
Reports state Trace had also left a sip’s worth of beer in the tin, meaning that if anyone else wanted to use the improvised ashtray they would not be able to tell which it is simply by giving the identical tins on the table a shake.
Trace then proceeded to accidentally ash into an almost full can of beer belonging to someone else, which after apologising, she decided to christen as the ‘new ashtray’ with the original now the ‘backup ashtray.’
“It’s economical,” stated Trace as she hoped the chunks in her gulp of beer was something that was already in her mouth.
