If I can teach you anything, it's this: Don't go to a dive bar and order
a daiquiri. It won't be pretty.

1. And if they have a menu
don't order the fried calamari.

Bad things, man. Bad things.

:puke:

2. Did it come with a little paper umbrella?
'Cause if it did, that woulda been funny.

4. Oh, no
I'm not even sure what the "strawberry" was made of. The lack of fancy garnishes was the least of my worries.

8. I noticed you are in Canada.
Your excellent health-care plan should take care of any diseases you may have picked up.

Having said that, why did you order a daiquiri? What were you thinking? Were you already hammered? Who brought you? Did any of the bikers hit on you? Were you wearing a short leather mini-skirt?

Details, woman... We want details! (And pictures of you in the leather mini-skirt, if applicable.)

9. This was a few years ago, so the details are fuzzy
I was not the seasoned drinker I am today. I liked girly drinks back then.

I don't remember who I was with. I think the venue was chosen because of the proximity to our location.

3. It's also a good idea to stay away from the egg salad sandwiches
Oh, OF COURSE the sign says "made fresh daily."

And THEY wouldn't lie, WOULD they?

5. I went to a local dive bar for lunch one day.
I asked if the chicken sandwich was breaded or fried & the guy behind the bar said, "Ummm ... it's square." So, I ordered it. It was fish.

6. LOL, they can't fool you
But was it good, or just a bitter disappointment?

10. A disappointment ... but I ate it anyway.
I'm not too picky. But, now I just stick to beer at those places. Beer in a bottle.

7. ...and you lived to tell the tale!
Funny, yet scary. "So I ordered it"? How drunk WERE you to order food after that answer? :scared:
