That Holiday Spirit
Overheard -- really -- at the Bruins game last night:
First drunken young guy: "What's that you're drinking?"
Second drunken young guy: "It's a 'Seven & Seven'."
First one: "What's in a 'Seven & Seven'?"
(Pause) Second one: "It's, uh...like gin and ginger ale, I think."
(Pause) First one: "Oh. So, it's like, uh, a gin and tonic?"
(Long pause) Second one: "Yeah. Yeah, gin and tonic."
Near the end of the third period the second one tumbled off his seat, falling into the row in front of him. As the game was ending he and his friends (and their girlfriends) were in an argument with the usher and the EMTs as to whether he would go to the infirmary and be evaluated or else sign a waiver saying he was unhurt.
Memo to young people everywhere: if you think a "Seven & Seven" is a gin and tonic, it's a sign that you really shouldn't be drinking one.
