I want to have sex, but find I am more likely to be shot down than when I am sober.

I used to drink, but I don't drink anymore. I was out with a group of friends at the local Applebee's and I asked the server if they had any non-alcoholic beers.
Without missing a beat, the young lady said "No, but we do have $2 Long Islands tonight."
Yeah, no. I'll take an unsweet iced tea, please and thank you.

Trivia: The chain was acquired by IHOP about a decade ago. Guess that's not working out too well for them.

Maybe next time I'll just use a Windows VM. Or Wine.
