I accidentally ordered a $2,000 drink on New Years — my husband left me at the bar

What a chump. Husbands are supposed to oversee their wives and guard against this kind of nonsense. He should have been more aware of what his wife was doing since he was right there with her (not unlike Adam not helping Eve when Satan was busy deceiving her).

He should also cover for her if she blows it.

I don’t care about freaking Women’s Libbers. A husband’s gotta do what a husband’s gotta do.

I do not do pricey drinks of any kind (cheap beer is fine, thanks), but the Cristal alone would have been more than $20, so yeah - not buying the accident.

[Hatteras]

It was as good an excuse as any to leave with her sister....

[hillarys cankles]

These types tend to all have the crazy eyes.

I would have left her arse too. Actually I wouldn’t have because it would have never got to that point. If a woman has the crazy eyes, I’m totally out. Hasn’t let me down yet......

Never sleep with anyone crazier than yourself.

If both sexes followed that, no one would ever sleep with anyone, as the level of crazy is never exactly the same.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

My wife’s smarter than your wife. She would have put it on somebody else’s room tab.

[Dr. Sivana]

So, was the drink any good?

[NorthMountain]

As scientists, Doctor, we know that all measurements are made with some uncertainty. Thus, one need only find a potential mate whose craziness is within acceptable error bar of his own.

Haha! As a simple mathematical problem, that is correct. If no one could sleep with someone crazier than themselves, no one would have a partner, with one caveat. If there were people tied for having a perfect 0.00 crazy score, they could sleep with each other.

Have to wonder how many drinks she’d had before ordering this one...would think anyone taking an order for such an absurd drink would double-check that the price was understood.

Reminds me of Groucho Marx in A Night at the Opera...

#Groucho:”Let me see that bill... 9 dollars and 40 cents? This is an outrage! (hands the bill to the girl)...If I were you I wouldn’t pay it” #ANightAtTheOpera 1935

“I doubt this was a mistake.”

I doubt that this is article is true.

fair is fair

now i get to spend 2300 on an escort, honey

[moovova]

Good one!

[Dr. Sivana]

If there were people tied for having a perfect 0.00 crazy score, they could sleep with each other.

The given is that each woman starts with at least a 4.00 crazy score. It might be easier to pair two who are completely bonkers, (e.g. Joker and Harlequin. Catwoman is not 100%. In fact, she's in the "Fun Zone".)

I’ll take “Things that never happened” for $500, Alex.

[Clutch Martin]

“That said, if a bartender does not warn a patron about something like this beforehand, the patron should not be held responsible.”

Do you really think it’s the bartender’s job to convince people not to order a certain drink? Caveat emptor.

If that particilar establishment has a cocktail that expensive I’m sure the establishment’s clientel has any number of people that are wealthy, chic, wear $200K watches, Italian fashions, and order stuff like that.

[Chainmail]

Oh please: if this ever happened, I would just give my wife a look and then pay the damn bill.

She's worth a lot more than that!
