    Sounds like a daily event at my job.

    I go through about a quart of Gatorade a day at The Bar. Sometimes more, sometimes less. But to keep it cold, I keep my Gatorade in one of the beer coolers behind the bar. And several times throughout my shift, I'll make the joke, "Time for a drink!" and reach into the cooler to pull out....Gatorade.

    But even when I don't make that crack, so many times people will say, "Oh, so what's actually IN that Gatorade, hmmm?" Depending upon my mood, I might say this or that, but inevitably, the truth is the answer I utter when I am annoyed with people: "Gatorade."

    Shit, I work at a bar. If I want a shot of something, I'll have a shot of something.

    (Like a couple weeks ago, shortly after my finger lost a fight with a broken beer bottle that one of my lazy coworkers had left for me to "find." After I got done bleeding through several napkins and a few bandages, the two customers I had at that time suggested I do a shot. Not one to refuse logical and brilliant advice like that, I did a shot--and it actually settled me down from the shaky feeling I had going after I had leaked out so much red liquid!)

    Seems pretty much like fucking for virginity to me...
    That would explain the phrase "fucking virgins" that I've heard so many people utter under their breath. Or to quote the t-shirts I saw for sale (but did not understand) in tourist towns when I was a kid: "To all the virgins: thanks for nothing!"

      Heh, I've done the opposite sometimes at work, when I have a cup or bottle of water handy. Customers comment about how much I need it on a hot day, and I grin, waggle the cup/bottle, and say, in my best faux-Russian accent: "What's funny is you think this is water."

        Speaking as someone who once fell asleep in a baseball stadium during a game, on a hot June day holding a beer, right next to my sleeping father holding his beer, that guy is an idiot.

        That is all.

          And: http://xkcd.com/323/ Just be careful not to overshoot.
          It does explain Windows ME though. Might explain pre-patched Vista as well.

            That was probably boredom because you were at a baseball game

              What you need to do for that is a pair of binoculars and to seat so the batter is facing away from you. My, they wear tight trousers.

                Okay, now THAT is funny. I may use that. Especially since I can do a passable Russian accent, and a damn decent Irish brogue.

                  The last baseball game I attended, the outfielder for the home team that was usually right in front of the area I was sitting had no butt to speak of. I felt so ripped off.

                      I actually feel very honored that I gave CS.com's favorite Key West-based bartender new material.

                        I didn't even realize the typo. Looks like I pulled a Homer.
