You Never Know... Who You Will Meet... Or Where ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

Once upon a time - before the veil of the 'great confinement' - it was Happy Hour...

I was in a dark, downtown bar with a friend from work ; commiserating and sharing a few laughs. Vodka slushies were on my menu, rye with a beer chaser - on his. We'd just been served when a man, wearing a rather shabby costume strode in. We watched (in curiosity), as he walked up to the bartender - sat down at one of the stools - then spoke to him.

"Do you have any jobs?"

The bartender - who'd been wiping the counter - turned, eyed the man in the suit and slowly replied, "Why don't you try, the circus."

"Why the fuck would a circus, need a bartender?" smirked the dog.

That dog, had a good point. He waited for a reply from the bartender ; who had already put his rag down and placed his hands on his hips. THEY, were suddenly interrupted. A priest, a rabbi and a minister had bustled into our darkened space and cozied up to the vacant stools - next to the dog. The bartender looked at the piously dressed men, then shook his head and spoke.

"What is this? Some kind of fucking joke?"

But before another word could be spoken - SHE stumbled in. She was beautiful and blonde and that woman had walked into our blackness, clutched the stool - right next to the minister - and plopped down. You can imagine how ALL of us - the bartender, that dog, the priest, the rabbi, the minister and my buddy and I - waited with baited breath ; to hear what that beautiful blonde lady, would say.

"I'll have a cold beer please," she announced as she straightened her skirt and fluffed her hair.

I had expected something funnier.

Later on - after we'd invited her to our table and talked - we discovered that she was dyslexic. Yet even though doctors had told her she'd NEVER be good at poetry, she proudly claimed to have made ; a vase, a pot and several bowls - and was quite satisfied with the results. Did she say poetry?

"Hmmm... Go figure," I thought to myself.

You just never know who you'll meet, unless you go out and meet them. That's, as profound as I'd get ; it was time for another slushie. Damn, they were going down easy that night.

As I raised my hand to place my order - once again - the door to that bar flung open and flashed a hazy white light ; from the outside world. You wouldn't believe me if I told you who walked in...

Shortly after... a duck walked into our bar. The bartender asked, "Will that be cash or charge?" The duck replied, "Just put it on my bill!"

I've never seen a talking duck. You?
Hope you all's well with you and yours. โ—๐ŸŒน

3 possible thoughts here -

1. Your stories rival those of my grandfather, Herman the Great Embellisher.
or
2. Are you sure you didn't have too many vodka slushies?
or
3. I really need to visit Montreal!

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!

All three...โ—
It was fun to weave. Ya hit all the layers.
It was a long shot, but I smiled.
Hope you did.

So... this guy at the bar asked me a question ; "Whatโ€™s the difference between a G-spot and a golf ball?"

I didn't know the answer, so he eventually replied.

"A guy will actually search for a golf ball."

I don't get it. I'd never look for a golf ball. ๐Ÿท๐Ÿท

It certainly would, although today? It's not on my list.
You learning other games to play? ๐Ÿค”
I've flipped into a variety of things. Some of them require energy.
You? ๐Ÿท๐Ÿท๐Ÿ˜Ž

I'll tell you...
The past, present, and future walked into that bar.
It was tense.

In the old days it was happy hour or the bar on Sat. Night. I so miss those days. Met my late husband in a dive bar. Oh, the good ole days.


Paulxx001 replies on 4/7/2020 2:51 pm:
Yeah... You know what it's like.๐Ÿ‘
Some of those places had a, scent and vibe - that you never welcomed... but you always welcomed back.

I went to the grocery store today and ran into an old customer from my bike shop. I pulled my mask down as I said "I know you". I was getting ready for an elbow bump when he held out his hand. I was happy to shake his hand. I wonder if anyone there thought that was weird. Never would have expected to ever see that guy again. Glad I did.


Paulxx001 replies on 4/7/2020 7:46 pm:
Well there's, a worthy encounter. I can relate to that. ๐Ÿ‘

A priest, a rabbit and a minister walk into a bar. The rabbit says "I may be a typo."

That's it for my bar jokes today.


Paulxx001 replies on 4/7/2020 7:49 pm:

Vodka slushies sound good.... In the olden days, I never met people. One of the drawbacks of meeting a spouse young and spending the majority of your adult life with them.


Paulxx001 replies on 4/8/2020 12:53 pm:
I don't know if you missed anything. Bars occasionally, had a sense of desperation hovering - over them.
Well... cheers ๐Ÿฅ‚... from my living room. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘

In these difficult times, it gives us time to reflect on a myriad of memories and experiences. Perhaps also to consider whatโ€™s really important to us. Cheers ๐Ÿฅ‚ to better times and new memories.


Paulxx001 replies on 4/8/2020 12:46 pm:
Perspective... is a good thing to have. Thos bars and clubs are all empty now.
So is everything else.
Cheers ๐Ÿท ๐Ÿท... to better times. ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘

Long long ago I was quite the barfly, mostly at places that had live bands.

More recently? Meetup groups (which have been kind of a bust for romance but I have made some good friends), munches, the very occasional OKCupid meet.

Love the dyslexic poet/potter.


Paulxx001 replies on 4/8/2020 12:57 pm:
Ahhh... Live bands! Yes! Those were (are) the best.๐Ÿท๐Ÿท๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž
So... turns out that blonde (we met), was a devil worshipper.
She admitted that she sold her soul to Santa.
