<strong>Making</strong> <strong>Your</strong> <strong>First</strong> <strong>Million</strong><br />

"I'm sorry sir, the bar is closed."<br />

"Nar giffsanardrink. Drinksararnd.<br />

"Sir, my name is Michel. I am the maitre d'. Could I inquire your name?"<br />

"George Parry. Wossit teryoo."<br />

"I'm sorry to tell you Mr Parry, you <strong>and</strong> your friend are barred. Do not attempt to book<br />

into this restaurant again."<br />

So we left. The cabbie helped us out at Rydges Lakeside, <strong>and</strong> like likely lads about town<br />

we sauntered into the bar. In less than a minute, certainly before we'd ordered our second<br />

round, we were approached by a firm but polite bouncer advising us we could not drink<br />

here without ties, <strong>and</strong> despite both <strong>of</strong> us removing our belts <strong>and</strong> buckling them round our<br />

necks, he failed to see any humor in our approach <strong>and</strong> insisted we leave. His task <strong>of</strong><br />

ushering us out the door we'd just entered was made more cumbersome with Bernie<br />

having to stop <strong>and</strong> hitch up his trousers <strong>and</strong> with us safely on the pavement, tucking our<br />

shirts in I took the opportunity to yell some timely, if not exactly cuttingly humorous<br />

abuse in the vein <strong>of</strong> "Oh yeah, so you think you're tough?" Something like that.<br />

Whatever, it was enough to bring the bouncer back to where I could see the blackheads<br />

on his nose <strong>and</strong> smell his breath: "What's your name?"<br />

I couldn't think <strong>of</strong> anything witty, so I said the first thing that came into my head:<br />

"George Parry."<br />

"You're barred!"<br />

We must have hailed a cab to the airport <strong>and</strong> continued drinking at the bar, as the next<br />

thing I recall is being seriously accosted <strong>and</strong> shaken by a uniformed gentleman: "Are you<br />

George Parry?"<br />

"Yes" I was now clearly too drunk to do anything wittier than tell the truth.<br />
