Second floor common room, Tuesday evening

[fates_jaye]

There's nothing to do, so Jaye wanders to the second floor, kicks her feet up on the coffee table, and waits for someone to entertain her.

And someone had better entertain her. Preferrably with antics.

"This drunk's sitting in a bar, and says, 'Bartender! Give me another drink.'

Bartender shakes his head and says, "No way; you’re already drunk."

"Well," the drunk says. "How about if I show you something really neat?"

"It'd have to be pretty damn spectacular."

Drunk takes a tiny harmonica out of his pocket, then a frog. He sets 'em on the bar. Frog picks up the harmonica and starts playing the blues.

Bartender says ok, fine, damn, that's worth a drink. Drunk guzzles it down and asks for another.

'Nah, you're way past the limit now.'

'If you let me have another drink I'll show you something even better than the frog,' says the drunk.

Bartender laughs at him but says sure, if you impress me enough.

Drunk pulls out a hamster and puts it up on the bar beside the frog. The frog starts to play the harmonica again, and the hamster starts to sing to the music; sounds just like Billie Holiday.

The bartender stares, then just slaps another drink on the bar.

Guy sitting next to the drunk says, 'Whoa - that's uneblievable. I collect weird things, and I've got an inheritance to burn - I'll give you a million bucks for 'em right now.'

'Not for sale,' the drunk says.

'Ok, a million just for the frog.'

'Frog’s not for sale.'

'Ok, what about a million just for the hamster?'

The drunk thinks it over and says 'Yeah, I can part with the hamster.' Guy writes him a check then and there, and walks out of the bar with a hamster in his pocket.

Bartender asks the drunk, 'Why the hell did you sell the hamster? You broke up an amazing team!'

'Nah, I didn't,' the drunk says. 'Frog's a ventriloquist.'"

Angela laughed. "That's mean, though," she said. "Kind of like the one about Really Strong Guy Who Can Fly and the bar on the top floor. Only better, 'cause there's a frog. And, um, no one dies"

"That's the one that ends 'RSGWCF can be such a dick,' right?"

[chasingangela]

"I heard it with "'RSGWCF, you're a bastard when you're drunk," Angela said. "But I bet it's the same one. Updrafts, right?"

[soldtoarmenians]

"Right. Which is not the same one as the one where RSGWCF thinks he's having insta-sex with Bitterwoman, except not so much."
