Having only bartended for two days, the strangest thing thus far ordered from 
me was quite mundane in comparison to some of the wild drinks out there: a 
salty dog with no salt, garnished with two olives.

The guy ordered about 8 of them the first day. The second day, he comes back 
and says, "Remember me? The grapefruit & vodka?" I said "With olives?" He said 
"Yes." So I fixed it for him, just the way he liked it. He walks away with the 
drink, then turns around, and says, "I don't think olives are an appropriate 
garnish for this drink. Whoever heard of that?" He throws the olives on the 
table and walks away.

Huuuhhhh...? Wh'appen?
