> Long Drinks and Sidecars in that Bar near Egodeth

Two German men visiting Ireland stumble on a bar in the countryside and, after many drinks, the bartender admits to having killed almost every patron to ever come there - the two men, frightened to the thought, decide that they won't take their chances with any lunatic and drive back to their hotel drunk.

On the way back to home, the driver falls asleep at the wheel with his friend unable to take control of the vehicle before they crash into a rivet near the road - the driver instantly dies on collision leaving his friend to be trapped, hemorrhaging blood for a few hours before he's able to free himself. Hardly able to walk himself, he cannot leave his friend behind and sees the only option would be to return to the bar for help.

With tremendous difficulty, he is able to drag the rugged corpse of his friend back to the bar along with himself, luckily finding the bartender still awake and without any customers. The living German pleads for any help or for the man to call authorities but he refuses, reminding them that in their haste they didn't pay their tab for drinks.

Angered at such petty thinking in the face of death, the German violently attacks the bartender with a bottle left from their previous drinking, stabbing him vitally in the stomach for him to bleed out. As they both lay dying, the German's has only the strength left to laugh with the bartender over the fact that "no patron ever thought they could kill the bartender."
