(I don't drink alcohol) BUT my next order would have been a Strawberry Rose Lychee Mojito or a Tamarind Mezcal Mule, with a twist....

I have a rebel alliance/Jedi tattoo on my back. She would hate me and my family we are nerds.

Has nobody ever challenged this 21 age limit in court on consitutional grounds? I mean that "Equal Protection of the Laws" thing in the 14th amendment. Is there an age restriction on owning a gun for example ? If not, how is that particular circle squared?

Was it one of those tankless ones? What sort of a deal was she talking? Do they do installs? Finance?

Sounds to me like you just accompanied her on a few quick errands before her big date!

Do people realize they can just end the date if the person turns out to be weird, disgusting, creepy? Just say 'no sorry this is not working for me'. There is no need to make up emergencies or sit through a horrible evening.

When I was 20 I met a young lady who was best friends with one of my old friends and she agreed to go with me in my car as we were all going to a party at a friends family farm. It was night and I was not familiar with this towns back roads and lost site of my friends car and we went the wrong way. Finally I spotted them around a bonfire but we were on the far side of a farmers field. I said “there they are,” stepped on the gas and drove across the field at 80 kph and occasionally catching air. She was screaming beside me and when we stopped she yelled at me she will never get in a car with me again. We have been married now for almost twenty years.
