"Shooter Etiquette"

* No Sipping! Take it all!

* Purchase a round of shots all at once! Cheapskates not allowed!

* Always be the person to buy the first round! Folks will remember that, maybe?

* Always tip the first round! (Cuz if you don't you will spend too much later!)

* Return all the glasses to the same area when finished!

* Stacking is appreciated by many bartenders, unless u turn them over!

****from the Little Black Book of Shots

Sir Paul McCartney Slums in Ft.Greene

Excuse me miss, I need a Paul McCartney. WITW? Miss, he's a singer, not a liquor. You got him right there. Where? (I'm trying to get this priceless autograph!) Right where? Behind u, we're looking.......we finally cracked the code & found out Sir Paul McCartney has been camouflaged as a pint of Bacardi Light! Lord, people, people, people.....

SPANX Needed Here!

The Weather Girls are in the house! It's one thing to be plus-sized & confident and another thing to know when to stay in your lane. Size does matter sometimes! SMDH! You don't wanna know what I just saw somewhere between Chaka Khan & Aretha Franklin.......

It's Gettin' Hot in Here!

Real talk & not a lie! Lady walked into The LIQ, "Man, it's hot!" Never mind she had on a wool sweater & jeans! Uhm, Dr.KamalaUzzell & Soror Tracyavon, isn't that a mental health issue? I mean, when you wear seasonally inappropriate attire? Damn! New meaning to "it's gettin' hot in here...."!

Come On Down!

OK class all together now........"The $21.99 bottle of Grey Goose is?" "21.99?" Gosh, how did you guys get so smart! It really stumped me!

The LIQ Psychic Hotline

Miss, I'm psychic! I hit the 4 digit twice last week for $20k+& $10k this week! I know when the #s coming......aight, could u please give me the numbers to Mega Million so I don't have to idiots like u EVER again? Told y'all it's too hot for this mess!

Question: If the door is open, I'm sweatin' and the dog is passed out, does it appear we have A/C? It's too friggin' hot for ignorant questions!

Careless Whisper!

HINT: I am behind 6" of plexiglass, roasting like a pig with an apple in my mouth at the luau, if u whisper your order u WILL get the face!

Peebles

Looking at the monitor walking into The LIQ, mami I look good, rite? Uhm, the Peebles look only works if a.) you're petite, b.) you're cute or c.) it's Halloween; needless to say none of the above applied! SMH!
