Jack and Coke, Americas drink?
So it's a slow night at the pub last night. Our fare city is flooded electrical engineers and, as everyone knows, they tend to be a group that suffers from poor social development. So the first big group of the that comes in after their convention lets out for the day are all from Kansas or Nebraska, one of those states, that, when you live in it long enough, even downtown San Diego seems exotic. They walk up to the bar and what do they order? Now, this is an Irish pub, dark, dreary, on a quiet night it really gives you that feeling of pensive solitude that you want from an Irish pub. So six out of ten of these conventioneers order mojitos! I know, you are thinking, "WHAT?", a mojito at a pub and I answer, "yes indeedy.". The irony is that just around the corner is a perfectly good Spanish style bar were they could have gotten a perfectly good Mo but, forget that, they wanted to go to an Irish bar. Pubs shouldn't even carry the fixings for a Mojito, or margheritas for that matter. Pubs should stick to what they know, beer, whiskey and, sometimes wine. I guess while we're making pub rules they should also put a restriction on Coca-cola. As in "the use of, in drinks, as a mixer". I'll tell you why. Later in the night, more of these engineer types came into our little pub, they were from Armenia, they were pretty well off and they wanted an "American drink.". I told them to just try a Jack and Coke, I mean, in the American Drink Hall of Fame, what drink is more us than that? Well they just weren't happy with our little Jack Daniels that I recommended, they wanted to flash the cash, they wanted everyone to know just how rich they were. To my horror, they ordered a Coke and 18 year MacCallen. Okay, I do understand that the bars primary purpose is to make money but really, I couldn't have mixed this drink. No way, not in a thousand years. What kind of simple minded, freak could actually do that? So what if that drink is going to be a fifty dollar drink. So what if that's hard profit for the bar. If i was working at a bar that expected me to do that to a fine scotch I am afraid we'd be fightin' real quick. It's worth it to fight and sometimes lose your job over things you believe in. I believe that every bar, tavern, saloon and pub in the world should make the controlled use of mixers mandatory. You may only make whiskey and Cokes out of Jack Daniels grade or below, above that and it is an abomination unto our Liquor Lord, he who sits upon the heavenly bar stool and rains his loving whiskey piss, from sherry lined kidneys and Oaken bladder into our waiting glasses. He can also manifest spicy buffalo wings through prayer AMEN.

Those sick perverts! I'm glad I wasn't there to see it, I know that this world is full of abominations, atrocities and downright ugliness, but I think I'm going to get very very ill right now. I just hope I can find a bottle of Johnny Walker green label to throw up into.
Coke and 18 year MacCallen...
WTF!?!
