skysprite 0 #1 April 10, 2005 I was talking to Phree (don't burn down the house dude!) and Kris (keep the sharp pointy objects away from Phree!) tonight and told this story, and Kris said it's postable so here goes: No shit, there I was, I got carded while ordering a coke. I've been going to this local restaurant/bar in downtown Albuquerque for a couple of weeks now. On Tuesdays they have $0.15 chicken wings, so some jumpers at my dz will get together and eat, drink, and talk shop. I've gone a couple times and have always had a coke and some food. No problem, right? Wrong. This week I went and when I got there there was only one other jumper there, so he grabbed his drink and we went outside on the patio to wait for others to show up. A lady comes out to get my order, and I order my usual coke. "Can I see your id please?" Uh, sure. So I give her my id and she stares at it, looks at me, then stares at it again. New Mexico gives licenses that are printed sideways to underagers, and in addition to that it clearly says in bold red letters "Under 21 until ...". She stares at me and at it one more time then asks, "So you're underage?" Yes, I am. "Oh, well, you can't be here." Okay. No one ever carded me before, much less told me I couldn't be here. To which she responded, "Well, this upstairs portion is a bar so you can't be here. We've been getting a lot of undercover cops lately." Oh. Damn, that means I could've been ordering drinks the past couple of times I've gone! But nooooo, I have to get carded when ordering a coke! ~skysprite Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bisqit999 0 #4 April 10, 2005 That Coke is some BAD stuff anyways. You don't wanna get mixed up in a beverage like that. The waitress was probably lookin out for your best interest. Probably thought u would get all crazy and stuff. Next time try and order a lemonade. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In your situation beer could act as a gateway drug, since you’ve already admitted to hanging around with older beer-swilling skydivers at a public house. Consider you were to hear them tell a skydiving joke – one of those rare good ones, witness Billy Vance - then you burst into laughter and by counter-reflex you inhale Coke up your nose. This chain of events, which on it face began rather harmlessly with a congregation of skydivers slurping beers and fueling their future farts with chicken parts, has now transited a juncture where we have a minor snorting Coke in public. Put down the wings, son, and go mow the lawn for mama. Blutarsky 2008. No Prisoners!

But this is strange, since you said you had been there before.
