An outer Betoota Quarry man, Chayden Bell, has today lied through his teeth today while telling his new girlfriend’s father that he had never been in a bar fight.

The lie in question came about after Krystal’s dad, Kyle, started grilling Chayden at the family’s dinner table in a bid to find out whether this Chayden was good enough for his princess, Krystal.

“So, you reckon you’ve never been in a bar fight?” questioned Kyle, not believing Chayden for a second.

“Nah, Mr Krystal’s Dad, never. I’ve never glassed anyone either.”

While usually you would give your daughter’s boyfriend the benefit of the doubt, in this instance Chayden had what’s known in the poker circuit as a ‘tell’.

Chayden was wearing a Fox Racing cap. Not only that, but he had bent the brim of it so forcefully that it nearly formed a full circle.

Speaking to The Adovcate after the interaction, Kyle explains how he knew the bloke was sus from the minute he got out of his white ’03 Holden Commodore V8.

“You don’t wear a Fox cap if you’re a straight shooter”

And he’s right. According to a report carried out by the QLD Alcohol Fuelled Violence Commission (AFVC), 76% of glassing’s in pubs are carried out by men wearing Fox Racing caps.

It’s not yet known whether Kyle has put an end to the relationship or has continued to let his daughter go out with the public nuisance.

More to come.
