No matter how hard you try

From the Arcata Police Log:

9:55 p.m. After having had quite enough to drink at a downtown restaurant, a man was told he wouldn’t be served more. This unwelcome news arriving in his booze-bamboozled brainpan set up a ragestorm, which manifested in him flinging a to-go box at the bar, breaking two bottles. And yet – go figure – they still wouldn’t give him any more drinks.
