Pretending Along

And now the comedy stylings of the Friday bouncer at the Reef

The scene: I'm with my friend Kelley heading out to have dinner and some drinks at the Reef in Adams Morgan on Friday evening. The bouncer asks for my ID, I give it to him.

Me: It's me.

Bouncer: (scrutinizing my license) Mhmmmm...

Me: I just got a haircut.

Bouncer: (handing back the ID and waving me past) Yeah buddy, it looks like you got a permanent haircut.

Kelley chuckles quietly as we walk past. The bouncer laughs as well.

Halfway up the stairs, I get his joke.

Me: Very funny, jackass.

Two hours later: I've left to grab a pack of smokes and am standing in front of the same bouncer.

Me: No hairline comments this time, chief.

Bouncer: What? Look I'm in the same boat, in a couple of years mine'll be as bad as yours.

Me: Funny.

For those keeping score, Bouncer: 2, Chris: 0
