Not related to this subject much, but a comical memory...I remember one 
halloween weekend wandering into this college hangout in Klamath Falls, Oregon 
and seeing two bartenders, a girl who was doing pretty well and a guy who was 
(litterally) falling down drunk.  I wasn't a bartender yet (and barely knew 
the laws) and even I knew that was bad mojo :)

Not on topic, but certainly funny :)
