Or you’ll wind up a bartender in North Oakland.

Duke’s Bar, Millvale Ave., North Oakland:
Bartender: [speaking to a customer] Do not do LSD. Do not do LSD.
[His voice gets louder and is now speaking to the whole bar in the form of a PSA. Bar quiets to listen.]
Bartender: Don’t do LSD. But if you’re going to do LSD, don’t do it in Pittsburgh right now. Don’t do LSD in Pittsburgh right now or you’ll end up in the asylum like my brother.
[Bar returns to normal chatter.]
— Overheard by Jacko and Elsa
friend, actually, i don’t have any brothers.
Dude, what was up with that?
And by the way, I wasn’t making fun of your job; I was joking that you (if you are the speaker) are on LSD too, based on the apparently sudden, specific advice.
I think that makes it better…
Yeah, so what’s the deal?
Long live Billy the bartender! I’m guessing!
Joel, actually. What was up w/ that was that a friend of mine was really sick from taking some bad drugs, and I had just found out that day. No offense taken, didn’t even cross my mind, although it should be pointed out that being a bartender in north oakland, is of course, not something one should aspire to be!!
