Conversations in a Pub

Setting: The Watering Hole, two tables away from the live band. 10:45PM Friday.

ACT ONE
The band was belting out Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama. People were shouting themselves coarse trying to keep up with their conversations. Friend from the next table walks up to Jimmy.

Friend: "Hey Jimmy. Come meet my friend Dave."

Jimmy: "Hi Dave."

Friend: "Dave used to be a record holder back in Uni. He downed a pint of beer in 3.2 seconds, dude!"

Jimmy: "Haha...you must've been thirsty, eh?"

Dave: "Sorry?"

Jimmy: "I said you must have been thirsty."

Dave: "No. Not really...I am just 28 actually."

Jimmy: "No, no...I said..."

....and yet some people wonder why I rather stay in on Friday nights. Sigh.
