Classy

So I was a celebrity bartender last night at my local watering hole. Many of my readers have been there before, and some are lucky enough to have been there on a Friday night, so you may find this story believable.

Now, I've been working or going there for drinks for 12-13 years, so I have seen many a things there. The old story goes that on a Friday night, at least one bizarre thing happens that you will not see at another bar any where in the city.

On time a guy came in and looked around for a minute, went up to order some food togo and then pulled a lit cigarette out of his pocket and asked for the closest way to the freeway. The bartender replied "I can tell you the quickest way to get the f**k out of here. Me kicking your a** out of that door right behind you."

I found out last night that every Friday night around 7-7:30 there is this guy who comes in and walks around for almost 5 minutes looking like he is looking for someone he is supposed to meet, then grab a copy of The Onion, and then leaves. This has been going on every Friday for almost 4 months.

Last night around 7:30, a trashy family came in; mom, dad, grandma (in her 50s or 60s) and their kid, probably about 1 years old. The woman was also noticeably pregnant herself. We though to ourselves, alright another classic white-trash family bringing their young child and unborn child to a bar. Wouldn't be the first time. Then a few minutes we notice that the pregnant woman is drinking a beer. WTF? Apparently this women has not read a medical journal in the last 30 years. This might not be the best idea. I am still holding out that the woman was not pregnat even though she pretty much looked like this or this. THe other kicker was that this family didn't just quickly eat and get out of there to get their young child home, they stayed around for almost 2 hours, and at one point the dad brought the kid up to the bar so he (the dad not the kid) could smoke. Darwin was wrong.

When they left I looked over to the other bartender and just said "Stay Classy San Diego."

That is an example of the bad side affects of drinking, here is an example of the positive side affects.
