Wife and I went out Friday night to dinner with another couple, then stopped in a local watering hole/distillery for a taste of their signature bourbon. Two tables over were 4 very attractive young ladies and a middle of the road looking young man.
At one point I made eye contact with him and instead of a smile/nod that said "nicely played" my smirk seemed to convey what I was really thinking - "girls night out, and you're just one of the girls..." I could literally see his face "fall" as he realized I was silently laughing at him... Seriously, you're at a distillery that makes a signature level bourbon, and you're drinking some sugary mixed drink like the other ladies at the table? {snort}
I like a tall scotch and soda, or VO on the rocks. But I would never be embarrassed to drink what the ladies were drinking.
