Designated drivers are fine, but if you're alone, at least if you're a young man, you'd better be buying something.

I don't think he expected to get the water for free; she could also have offered him a soda or a coffee or something.

The LHC creates a Very Small Parping Sound. Think "cosmic fart in an elevator".

BARLADY: "I am not the 'Barkeep'. I am the 'Host'; the lady who draws the brews; the genial smile that greets the sad faces that come through the door; the sympathetic listening ear to the tales of woe brought to me by hopeless patrons."
CLINTON: "Whatever! You sure helped me out! Thanks, Barkeep!"
CLINTON throws a few bills at BARLADY and runs out of the bar.
BARLADY: "I... think I might be good at this!"
BARLADY turns to an unconscious JIMBO, whose head is resting on the bar. She pats him on the shoulder.
BARLADY: "So, what's your story?"
JIMBO slumps bonelessly onto the floor.
Yes, a ST-DS9 reference, courtesy of Quark, surely the most awesomely funny barkeep in the history of sci-fi!

--- Quote from: Tova on 29 Apr 2016, 00:04 ---Licensed premises in Australia are legally obliged to serve drinking water to anyone who requests it, either free or at a reasonable cost. It's a part of the Responsible Service of Alcohol laws.

I've ordered non-alcoholic drinks in bars in the USA too, so yes, this comic seemed strange. The is the bar of compulsory alcohol, apparently.
Cypher:
Seems that no chance is ever to be missed for personal interaction between Clinton and another person to go badly/ uncomfortably... if Jeph is trying to make about half his readers completely sympathise with Clinton, who appears to be some kind of universal chump, he's going the right way about it in my book. I mean, seriously? She couldn't have addressed him in something approaching a pleasant (or just not asinine) manner? Oh well, par for the course if you're Clinton, it seems (and no, this isn't an endorsement of his flying off the handle at Claire, even if I do think her actions were, to say the least, ill-advised).
