The Other Night At The Country Bar

I'll treat it like a play ...

The Barfly is a 45-55 year-old white male.

Bill is a late-thirties white male. He's simply a guy with a newspaper to read and a notebook to write in, and he's standing at the bar ordering a Grain Belt Premium bottle. The Barfly, sitting at the bar, asks some simple small talk questions to Bill, who responds in kind. Then ...

BARFLY (hushed tones): Do you partake in Bud?

BILL (normal voice): Budweiser??

BARFLY (hushed tones): Noooo ... marijuana.

BILL (pointing to bottle of beer): No, I'm just a booze guy.

Bill walks away.
