My wife and I went to the local steakhouse tonight.
The waitress took the drink order from the table behind us - "a dry Martini, please".
Translation - I'd be embarrassed to order a glass of straight gin, so stick an olive in it to disguise it.
The table next to us - "Absolut on the rocks".
Translation - I'd be embarrassed to order a glass of straight vodka, so stick an ice cube in it to disguise it.
Me: "Do you have any good beer?"
Waitress: Certainly - we have Bud, Bud Light, Miller, Miller Light, Coors, Coors Light..."
Me: "Excuse me, let me rephrase the question - do you have any good beer"
Waitress: Well, we have Sam Adams on tap, but we're out of that right now.
Me: "Do you you have any beer that does not have rice in it?"
Waitress: [blank stare]
Me: "Do you have any beer that conforms to the Reinheitsgebot?
Waitress: [blank stare]
Me: "Do have have any beer that is not tasteless yellow water that only appeals to bland pedestrian American tastes?"
Waitress: [blank stare]
Me: [after studying the fine print at the very bottom of the last page of the menu] "Oh, I see you have Bass Ale, I'll have on of those".
Waitress: [with a look usually reserved for dead skunks] "Right away, sir".
After the waitress left, my wife kicked me in the shin real hard - "You Jerk! Snob! Know it all!" And those are the nice things she said about me (this is a family-oriented forum after all).
Obviously, I need to brush up on my technique. What's the "disguise" for good beer?
