Why oh why do people insist on doing that sort of crap??? Surely they must 
realise that they actually achieve the oposite effect of what they want to 
achieve ( being percieved as cool by the bartender when obviously you just 
think they're being dick heads), believe me if I ever walk as far as your bar 
and want a caucasian I'll be sure to ask for a white russian made with milk, 
if u don't have milk cream will be just fine, if u only have 50/0 so be i..... 
though the chances of that happening are about as great as me swimming to your 
bar from the UK with my arms and legs tied together and asking for a blended 
frozen grey goose manhatten with chocolate sauce, straight up with olives and 
a twist and a salt rim and an umbrella and ummmmmm how can I make it any less 
likely.... you get my point!
