Preface: Male Co-Worker #2 enters our place of employment, head down, dragging his feet along, his hood up over his head. He enters the backroom.
Me: “What the hell happened to you?”
Male Co-Worker #2: “I’m so hungover. I was at the bar last night drinking shots of abstinence.”
Me: “Of what?”
Male Co-Worker #2: “Abstinence.”
Me: “You were drinking abstinence?”
Male Co-Worker #2: “Yeah, man. It was seven bucks a shot. They just legalized it.”
Me: “They’ve only just legalized abstinence, is what you’re telling me.”
Male Co-Worker #2: “Yeah. It fucked me up.”
Me: “You’re talking about a green liquid, supposed to make you hallucinate and shit?”
Male Co-Worker #2: “Yeah, abstinence.”
Me: “You’re talking about Absinthe.”
Male Co-Worker #2: “Absinthe?”
Me: “Yeah. Abstinence is something I don’t think you know much about.”
Male Co-Worker #2: “Whatever it’s called, it fucked me up.”
Male Co-Worker #2 then exits the backroom and approaches a female co-worker.
Female Co-Worker: “You look hungover.”
Male Co-Worker #2: “I got fucked up on abstinence last night.”
Female Co-Worker: “What?”
Me: “Sigh.”
