Customer: Excuse me.

Bartender: Sorry. What can I get you?

Customer: A vodka tonic.

Bartender: Vodka tonic? Come on. It's my first drink of the night. Test me a little.

Customer: Uh... I don't know. Uh, a Negroni.

Bartender: A ne-what?

Customer: Uh...

Bartender: I'm kidding. The Negroni. First made in 1919 for Count Camillo Negroni when he swapped the soda water in his usual drink, the Americano, for gin. Haven't seen you here before.

Customer: It's not really my neighborhood.

Bartender: Not your neighborhood? Where are you from?

Customer: Greenwich.

Bartender: Greenwich. Sounds nice.

Customer: Bartenders up there don't give history lessons.

Bartender: Well, bartenders in Greenwich don't make Negronis like this. You want to leave it open or closed? Open, probably. It's only Daddy's money.
