Missed It By That Much
A couple weeks ago I was soaking up some cold suds with a buddy at my favorite local watering hole: Teakwoods in Gilbert. Our server, a lovely young woman we've known for several years, happened to mention in the course of normal conversation (normal Parrothead-type conversation, that is) that she could simultaneously hula-hoop and pour a cold beer from a pitcher without spilling a drop. Yet another good example of one's mouth writing checks that one's ass cannot cash. You shouldn't say shit like that in the presence of the Crime Dog.
I showed up there last night with a hula hoop. I hid it under the table until she brought our pitcher, then whipped it out on her. She turned redder'n a preacher in a whorehouse and declined, saying she needs some practice before attempting such a superhuman feat. She's a wonderful young lady and a helluva server, so we didn't hold her to her claim. But she ultimately agreed to perform the feat next Wednesday, when she isn't working.
Cool with me! So, if you happen to be in the vicinity of Teakwood's at Williams Field Road and Gilbert Road next Wednesday around 5:30ish, it's showtime!
