Years ago, got caught unawares, coming out of the TGI Fridays in Paris (go to hell, we hadn't had decent burgers and COLD beer in 3 weeks, so good and friendly wait staff for once)
Walked out the front door right into a soccer riot
Paris v Strasbourg for nat'l championship
It looked like 3 million sumbitches going crazy in the streets
Paris police in riot gear with shields & whole nine yards
We took off running for nearest Metro and GTFO
Entire Paris Metro smelled like pee and that was like 1992, no way I'm going back today
