I went out to a bar with my cousin on Friday night. He and I were sitting at the bar and I opened a tab with a different bartender. I had no interest in running any game on Friday, just wanted to relax and have a few beers. Natural game kicks in when this one bartender HB9 comes over to us and asks can I get you guys anything? I figured ok lets try some shit.

Me: Sure we'll take 2 more beers
HB9: and what kind of beer was it you were drinking?
Me: Take a guess
HB9: Miller lite
Me: You're good
HB9: What's your tab under?
Me: Therm
Me: Now let me see if I can guess the first number that comes to your head between 1-10 (don't tell me)
HB9: 8
Me: I said don't tell me, you're not good at this game
HB9: (giggles)
Me: OK lets try this again but this time from 1-4 don't tell me
Me: (pause) 2
HB9: How'd you know?
Me: Because I find 90% of people who answer 8 on 1-10 guess 2 and 90% of people who pick 7 pick 3.
HB9: I don't know I think of numbers in colors
Me: Here (pull out pen from pocket) Take this napkin and pen and right down your color associations to the number, I need an explanation to this numbers as colors thing.
HB9: Sure! (Writes it down) Back in a few
(5 minutes pass)
HB9: So....
Me: So.... I see how it is, you take my pen and run off to the other end of the bar.
HB9: Hold on! (Runs back to get my pen)
HB9: You guys need anything?
Me: Can we get 2 more beers please?
HB9: (Gets beers) What was the tab under?
Me: Come on you should know this... You're breaking my heart here HB9
HB9: Ummmm Rob?
Me: Nope (shaking head in disappointment)
HB9: Come on help me out...
Me: (stands up, takes her hand and kisses it) I'm Therm
HB9: (bright red) I'm HB9
(Some fluff talk with her and my cousin and I)
Me: OK so let me ask you a question. Out friend is pissed off at us because his friend who is also our friend is dating a girl our pissed off friend had met first. What advice would you give him?
HB9: Tell him to find some new pussy and move on....
Me: Exactly! Hold on a sec (grabs pen, writes down notes on what she says.

"HB9 said to find some new pussy and move on. If you have any questions please have me call her at _________________"

Me: (hands HB9 the pen and napkin)
HB9: (Reads it and looks at the part and looks up and me and looks back down at napkin) I really want to give it to you, but I just bought a house with my b/f of 5 years, it wouldn't be right. My head says yes, but I can't.
Me: (Laughs) I didn't say I was going to call you. (winks)
Me: Give her our autographs on a napkin and she does the same, since we're now in a band (though I do play guitar and sing and play drums)
HB9: (Hugs us as we leave) You're the most fun customers I've ever had


In total we received 6 free beers, and it was a fun night. You don't always have to close someone to pick up someone for entertainment while you're out.
