Notes &
A man is having a rough day at work, the traffic is awful coming home, and he’s just generally having a miserable day so he decides to grab a drink at his local watering hole rather than waiting in the traffic. As he pulls into the parking lot, he realizes that the bar has been put under new ownership, with a flashy front and a bouncer at the door.
So the guy walks up and the bouncer stops him, saying, “Sorry, but you need to wear a tie to come in here.”
The guy tries to convince the bouncer just to let him in for one drink, explains his horrid day, explains that he used to come here all the time, but the bouncer just won’t let him in no matter how hard he tries. So he runs to his car, and looks for a tie he might have tossed in there, but can’t find any. He checks the trunk, but all he can find is a pair of jumper cables.
So in the utmost futility, he ties a double-windsor with the jumper cables and walks back up the bouncer with a “let me in” look on his face.
The bouncer replies, “Okay, I’ll let you in—just don’t start anything.”
