You Can Not Make this Up.

    We were at a fun upscale boutique hotel with family memebers. The place was famous for “Old World” cocktails. We went up to the rustic bar with our nephew and his girlfriend. The bartender looked so very stoned. Eyes were slits and she was weaving. We all ordered Dirty Martini’s up. Our nephew asked if he could have a second blue cheese stuffed olive.
    She squints at us and says, “You will have to pay extra for a second blue cheese stuffed olive. If you want regular olives, they are free.” Our young nephew not to be embarrassed said,  ” that’s OK I’ll take the free ones.” She tossed two olives into the glass then  pulled the stick out with the blue cheese olive on it and opened her mouth wide and ate it. OMG LOL…  Right in front of us all!
     When we were ready for our next round there was a different bartender there. The rest of the night was great.
