1200 dollar tab

My buddy graduated from college over the weekend, and while enjoying some cocktails after the ceremony with his family and seven other friends, his father informs us that we have an open tab for the remainder of the evening. So for the next 8 hours, we drink with no regard as to the contents of our wallets. All in all we spent 1200 between 9 guys, making for a good night. The next day as we tried to function, someone got out the receipt for review. We ended up drinking about a half-barrel of beer and over 130 shots. What a great night, and I can't wait until another rich friend graduates...

About $130 a person. That's a decent night hope the bartender didn't get stiffed.

The bar added $150 gratuity and we (somehow still able to find our wallets) gave her another $200. Whenever we go back she is nice enough to bestow a half-price round upon us.

I like a happy ending to a good story. I was nearly middle aged before I made more money from my numerous actual university degrees than I did from the one from the American Bartending School.

I am actually rather proud of that old diploma, although I can't imagine where it is anymore. I had the 2nd fastest time in the history of the place at the time I graduated, I was a damn good bartender for quite a few years...

Considering the years involved and the education, I would have been better off focusing on bartending and fishing rather than grad school... Oh well, I'm gonna remedy that in about 10 years, so hang on....
