That’s some pretty strong stuff right there.” “Well I sure hope not, I mean I don’t know of anyone who comes to a bar with plans to leave sober.” She giggles, “I like you, what’s your name?”

My inner monologue railed at how the typography was intended to drive away old fuddy-duddies like myself, in order to maintain a more-youthful vibe.

Usually the most sober, with a watchful eye on the goings on in the place. The bartender looked like he’d seen a lot of shit in his day and wouldn’t put up with any. Bristles on his scalp, long beard and mustache, a scar slicing his left eyebrow in two. Not to mention arms which could pop your head like a fucking pimple.
