mi dispiace, sono ubriago

So, I was sitting at my "internship" this morning, waiting to be told what to do, actually, when I stumbled upon this in the Times online. First thing's literally first: That photo is classic. Is that guy American, do you think? I don't know. But who cares. Do you think that photographer had to go out searching for drunks, or he found the drunk first, then the story emerged? Chicken or the egg. Only from the NY Times.
