Some week. Wouldn't mind drowning out a few of those memories.

[ It doesn't take a curse to get Al to show off, but given the impulse he is more than willing to act. This may not be his bar nor are they his glasses for that matter. His manner of payment thus far may be questionable at best, but that's the least of his concerns. The world must see.

It's a little something that looks like this. ]

Anyone in need of a bartender? I miss this shit.

A fair point. Showmanship has never been my strong suit.

[makingastatement]

See, what'd you do without me?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'm sure I'd be hopelessly adrift.

[makingastatement]

Don't sell yourself short. You'd make one hell of a bellhop.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Has anyone ever told you that short jokes are overdone?

[makingastatement]

C'mon, don't be like that.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

You're a funny guy. I have every faith in you that you can come up with something original.

[makingastatement]

Don't let any short jokes trouble that big melon of yours. That's all I'm sayin'.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

[A long pause.]

Why do I get the sense that any response I give you is going to get turned into another joke about my appearance? Which is pretty funny coming from you, actually.

[makingastatement]

[ ... ]

What's that s'posed to mean?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Do you spend much time looking in the mirror?

[makingastatement]

I don't get any complaints.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

No, I'm sure your mother finds you very handsome.

[makingastatement]

Hey, watch that mouth.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

As soon as I find a mirror, I'll start watching it.

[makingastatement]

There's a line when it comes to ball bustin', you know.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Where, exactly, would you put that line?

[makingastatement]

No family.

[ A begrudging shrug. ]

No short jokes.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

I'll make a note of it.

[Yes, he is literally making a note of it right now in a tiny notebook.]

Any other requests?

[makingastatement]

You're kind of an odd duck, ain't ya?

[recognize_an_opportunity]

What's that supposed to mean?

[makingastatement]

Nevermind.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

And here I thought you were going to tell me something interesting.

[makingastatement]

I keep tellin' ya, that'll cost ya.

[recognize_an_opportunity]

Lemme guess, it'll cost exactly enough to make up that 15% you want.
