A Customer Walks Into A Bar. (In My Life, This is Usually the Start of a Joke...)

[Jester]

Yesterday it happened yet again. Not once, but TWICE. A group walked in and sat at the bar, where at least one of their number was clearly somewhere in the age range of 10-15. When told that underaged people could not sit at the bar, but were more than welcome to sit at the tables in the bar area or the dining room, the group up and left. One of them even said, "Let's go to [Other Bar]!" I am pretty sure that their kids would not be allowed to sit at the bar in that other establishment, for two reasons, neither of them having to do with policy, as I have no idea what this other establishment's policy IS. First, I have never seen any child sitting at the bar in that establishment in the 12 years I've lived here. Second, forget kids, it's hard for an ADULT to find an empty seat at that bar--the place is always packed! So yeah, good luck with that.

Kids do not belong sitting at a bar. Period, end of story.

Did their grampa hang out around donut shops, and when a cop went in to make a purchase, stealthily apply epoxy to the seat of the cruiser?

No, that would be sticking the man to something else....in this case, a car seat.

Sounds lovely and refreshing to me. It is, after all, July in Key West. A bit hot and humid.

Reminds me of one nice hot delivery day back at DaddyJim's -- I had come in drenched with sweat and just sat down up front to rest -- One of the other drivers had a cup ful of ice water and was playfully "threatening" to dump it over my head. I took one look at her and told her to go ahead. Felt sooooooooo damn good

Yeah I know. BUT I did let him drink out of my soda bottle without wiping the top

Over the last week and a half I have comtemplated that very thing a least a couple of times EVERY shift.

Having kids does not prove you're of age. A twelve-year-old can have a kid.

There is no such thing as winter in Key West.

Back in '06, I was in Key West two days before Christmas. It was almost 90 degrees. It was freakin' HOT!

[Alpha Strike]

Untrue. There are days we switch out our sandals for socks and sneakers, and actually wear sweatshirts.

Wow. That sounds pretty rough! Not just sweatshirts but socks AND sneakers. Must be hard living in a place where 70 degrees is considered cold...

[Jester]

70 is not cold. BELOW 70 is cold.

Below 60 is freezing.

And yes, it DOES drop into the 50s and even the 40s sometimes. While that does not sound that cold to a lot of you, remember that when that wind comes off the Atlantic (it's ALWAYS windy in Key West), it feels far colder than it is. I've seen many tourists from the Northeast and Midwest freaking out at "how cold it is" when it is in the 50s and far warmer than where they're from.

Ok, now let's be fair, they are probably wearing light clothing that they wouldn't wear at home in similar conditions (40-50 degree weather). Most of us Northerners start wearing sweatshirts, and sweaters, when the temps get that low. Not something you are likely to pack on a trip to Key West.

Below 60 is freezing.

This brings back good memories of living in Charleston, and hearing people "zomg, did you hear its gonna get down into the FORTIES this winter?! Better stock up on canned goods, it'll probably close down the stores."


Ahhh, living in the South.

I was always greatly amused when I lived in Texas (Dallas suburbs) for a few years, seeing the locals freaking out whenever the weather dropped below 70. Out came the jackets and long sleeves. And my classmates were always aghast that I would come to school in shorts and t-shirts.

Them: "Aren't you cold?!"
J2K: "...no?"
