Michigan musical tastes

Mike S.
People are fanatical about Journey here. What’s the deal?

Tiffany T.
I love Journey. They’re the ultimate in cheesy ’80s music.

M.S.
What about Hall and Oates?

T.T.
Mmm…no it has to be Journey.


One way to get fired from Wendy’s

My friend Dan told me an entertaining story the other day at the Old Town bar. He used to work at Wendy’s and hated his job. His friend also hated working there, so the two of them teamed up and started messing with drive-through customers. Instead of saying, “Hello, welcome to Wendy’s,” they would sing the beat of the Vanilla Ice classic, “Ice Ice Baby.” Every time the customer would say something, they would sing the beat one more time. The manager quickly found out and he was fired after two weeks.

Beer is for amateurs

Mike S.
What are you drinking?

Marcy P.
I’m allergic to hops so I’m having some cider. Really hard cider. But I usually stick with vodka.

M.S.
Have you tried straight ethanol? Then you don’t have to worry.

M.P.
Yeah, I’ve tried that.
