I want to share a story!

My research partner and I decided to discuss our recent ethnographic fieldwork over a hurricane at Pat O's. Things were going great! We were getting a lot of work done while we were still doing research! Then I decided to order a round of the refreshing mint julips. I had never tried them before but I figured what the hell, one couldn't hurt. After finishing the first one and deciding they were really good, we ordered a second one.
About half way through with the second one I accidently tipped one of the half empty glasses over and spilled watered down mint julip on my research partner and our notes. I quickly grabbed the glass only to knock down the one she was drinking, spilling mint julip all over my research partner. The woman next to us looked at me and said "Honey, you have had enough!" I tried
to explain to her that I was not drunk, that I was a grad student doing research to which she replied, "Baby, we are all grad students and every sip we take we are doing another ounce of 'research'!" We were all laughing so much! So, we ordered another round of mint julips and continued to discuss our "anthropological notes" hehehehehehehe
