The Road to Hell, and all that....

So I go to the pub after practice with only $10. This was intentional, as it meant that I could afford exactly one pint, and coffee in the morning with what was left of my cash after tip.

Good idea, right? I even left my wallet in the car, just to make sure (debit, and such).

As I decline a second pint to the horror of our bartender, Jen, another server (Sonja, who was off duty) and a couple of the other people in the band, I almost get embarassed.

"You can't leave!"
"Have another!"
"C'mon!"
Me: "I can't, I dont' have any more money...."
Lynda: "What if I buy it for you?"
Me: "Damnit."

What's a guy supposed to do? Turn down free booze? From a girl, no less??

Later, Jen "accidentally" poured another pint while ringing in Lynda's bill, and so we split that.

In short, I paid for 40% of my beer tonight... I like this game.

But I have to be up for work in 5 1/2 hours.... so maybe I should reserve judgement.
