The Hard Facts of Life
A European in Lae decided he would initiate his house boys in to the new art of hotel drinking.
He explained that he would buy the first drinks and after that it would be polite for them to “shout” the next two rounds.
They all downed their drinks, but when the time came for the shouting the boys didn’t feel so well. The boss suggested they sit out in his car until they felt bet ter while he shouted a round for himself.
He later came out to find them asleep. There was no work done in the house next morning, but both boys announced that if that was liquor they were on the water wagon for life.
