All the answers lie behind the bar

Frank Sinatra wrote a song that I believe he called a drunk’s song. Now I don’t know if that’s the name, its just what I have always known it as. But it seems to speak of a common knowledge that has almost become a cliché. The bartender has the answers.

If you ever find yourself in a situation that is alien to you all you have to do is seek out the nearest local bar. I am not talking about a club bar, I’m talking about the bar that has about 10 old men sitting at it for lunch, and they don’t leave. I guarantee that if you go in there you can find out anything you need to know.

In one of my random adventures I found myself hitchhiking down the west cost of the states. Starting in Portland ending up in LA. And whenever I needed anything you know where I went, and I always got what I needed.

See, drinkers, we are a community and we take care of our own. If you are walking into a bar and drinking at noon on a weekday you might get looked down on by society but you wont be looked down on by a bar full of your peers. So weather you need directions, or need to know where to score some hookers you’ll find it.

Just think of the bar as a really life Google.

Even if you just need to tell your sad story there is someone in the bar with a sadder one, it will put your life into perspective.
