Baz The Barman

I had this job in a really cool bar in town, great place to meet girls. I’d been working there for a few weeks when they advertised another job. Baz was in the bar drinkin’ and chattin’ up girls, he doesn’t go for the sympathy, and he doesn’t tell them he can’t hear them unless he makes a big boob! Like last week, he’d seen this smart looking woman at the other end of the bar. Definitely not a student, her suit cost more than my grant! He made a B-line for her, and seemed to be getting on OK, until she threw her drink over him and left. I went to dry him off and tried to find out what had happened. He had the giggles so it took a while to get the facts. He thought she said she was a lesbian and was telling her that she was wasted on other women when she drowned him. As he thought about it he realised what she’d actually said was that she was going to Lisbon! “Honestly Baz, that’s what happens when you make assumptions from what you think you read”
