Brains are weird things. This song, for some reason, was going through my head last night as I lay in the dark dealing with both a migraine and food poisoning at the same time. (How exciting!) Then, after I finally fell asleep, this is why my fevered brain came up with as a dream.
I was in a bar/restaurant/liquor store and needed a strong drink to help me forget some recent heartache. I went up to the bar to order a single malt. The bartender was Elizabeth Warren. We got to talking and I discovered she owned the place. At the moment I complimented her on her excellent (and enormous) establishment, out of nowhere appeared Sam Waterston in a corduroy jacket and bow tie. I recognized him as my traveling companion. Elizabeth offered us both a gift certificate to the restaurant plus a year of free drinks if we both agreed to seven years of indentured servitude. Even though it wasn’t clear what, exactly, that meant, Sam declined immediately, looked at me, shrugged, and walked off. I, startled, said I needed to think about it, and left the bar/restaurant/liquor store to go to CVS, which was managed by, obviously, Shaquille O’Neal.
So, there you go. Have some Mahalia Jackson and Nat King Cole to soothingly carry you through Sunday.
Sounds like my weekend. Here’s to a better week!
Your brain is an even more interesting place than I had heretofore imagined.
(And hold out for a deal where the free drinks last at least as long as the indenture.)
