What's A Guy Gotta Do To Get A Drink Around Here?...

After mowing the lawn the other day, I was feeling thirsty so I headed over to one of the local bars in town. I asked the bartender for a tankard of mead. I told him I'd prefer an Omphacomel, but that I'd have a Metheglin or a Sack Mead if that's all they had.

The guy, like, looks at me like I'm fucking crazy. He starts laughing at me. Now, it coulda been because I was wearing my "I'm with stupid" chainmail, but I was getting annoyed. I wanted my damn drink. He kept laughing and pointing. I'm not a violent person, as you well know, but he just pushed it too far, so I brained him with my mace.

I would have cut his head off with my brawny sword.

Some Guy, perhaps some intervention is in order. I mean, when you brain a guy with your mace over your first mead of the day... could be a sign of a problem.

Think about it.

I hope you sharpened the points on the mace. You can't brain a bartender with a dull mace, everyone knows that.

bartenders don't really get it. You have to order from the grog wench to get good service

To wit, you should have said "vile knave! I will have a flagon of mead or I will smite thee, thusly!"

The cue to take broadsword or morningstar and smash the bar like Tanya Harding does to a boyfriend that makes a comment about her weight.
