Stepping Up To The Bar...
You come across and gentleman sitting
at a barstool, calmly sipping away
at his Corona. You sit down
on the stool next to him, turn to him and say
"Hey, how's it going?" in the generically
cheerful tone so often excepted by fellow
bar-goers before ordering your own
choice brew.
The gentleman turns to you and says
"There's alot going on, but right now
the only thing I'm concerned about
is that this bottle, this bottle right here,
has much too much beer in it."
Smirking, you nod to him, and raising
your glass, you toast.
"Here's to empty bottles."
The man smiles, clinks his bottle
against your glass, and pours the remaining amount
of golden brew down his gullet.
Throwing a couple of bills on the
bar, the man stands and tips his hat at you
before walking calmly past you and
out of the bar.
You sit at your stool, glancing up
occasionally to catch small glimpses of whatever
game is currently on the tv, and you
look deep into your glass.
"Beer is a good thing" you think to
yourself, "Here's to empty glasses"
And after taking down the remainder
of your pint, you grab your coat throw
a few bills on the bar, nod to the
bartender, and stroll happily out the door.
