Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
When I go out with the wife and her sisters they all drink from pint glasses, it makes sense because two half glasses costs a fair bit more plus the fact that you don’t have to wait for two half pint glasses of Guinness to settle, they don’t look out of place because it ain’t the Ritz and most of the other women are using pint glasses.
Now putting the shoe on the other foot, to see a full grown man drinking a half pint is very unusual over here, I remember a barman saying to a chap who came in and asked for a half pint of Guinness, the barman looked at him and said ’Sorry Sir but we don’t serve half pints’ ‘Why’s that?’ ‘Because it takes too long to wash the lipstick off the glasses’ He was pulling his leg of course.
A proton walks into a bar and asks the barman for a pint, the barman puts it in front of him and the proton says how much is that, “For you, no charge”
He finishes his pint and goes outside then comes back into the bar again “Excuse me barman, but did I leave my wallet in here?” “No” “Are you sure?” “I’m positive”
Then he walks back out and collides into a bus.
