Eloquence, PHG style
As I sat at the bar at Birk's Grill in Santa Clara waiting for a friend, I heard the following conversation:
Bartender: "What'll it be?"
Man: "Champagne."
Man: "I just read about Peter Jennings. I can't believe he was a high school dropout."
Man's friend: "Neither can I, Peter Jennings was so eloquent. I thought he was an Ivy League grad or something."
Man: "I know. He was so strong. He was on like 24-hours a day during 9-11."
Man's friend: "Yeah, he was so eloquent through it all."
Man: "He was so good, it didn't matter if he had a degree or not. By the time he was 24, he'd climbed the ladder in Canada and been lured by U.S broadcasting companies."
Man's friend: "Champaign, huh?"
Man: "Yeah, just trying to keep a positive mood."
Bartender: "What'll it be?"
Man: "Champagne."
Man: "I just read about Peter Jennings. I can't believe he was a high school dropout."
Man's friend: "Neither can I, Peter Jennings was so eloquent. I thought he was an Ivy League grad or something."
Man: "I know. He was so strong. He was on like 24-hours a day during 9-11."
Man's friend: "Yeah, he was so eloquent through it all."
Man: "He was so good, it didn't matter if he had a degree or not. By the time he was 24, he'd climbed the ladder in Canada and been lured by U.S broadcasting companies."
Man's friend: "He was pretty eloquent, wasn't he?"
Man: "Another glass of Chanpagne, please."Man's friend: "Champaign, huh?"
Man: "Yeah, just trying to keep a positive mood."

Since when did Birk's become THAT kind of place? Did your friend ever show up? Or did you get STIFFED?
