you go when you don’t want to

from the pour, with ice to keep it cold. And all

the olives you can swallow if you’re
too cheap to order food from their menu. You
can go out the back entrance that leads into
the local parking lot if you forgot your money

to pay. This has happened over and again. But
it looks like he just went to the bathroom.
