Mardi Gras Funny story - Essay Example

Mardy Gras Funny Story As the norm on Mardy Gras Day, commonly referred to as Fat Tuesday among the natives of America, is a day to have fun. It is the day when we make merry and do all the nasty things in readiness for the Ash Wednesday (MacMillan 6). For this year, four of my friends and I planned to travel to New Orleans and celebrate the day throughout the night. The whole plan was to go on a drinking spree then later join the parades organized in various parts New Orleans. In addition, to drinking and the parades, we agreed to look for beautiful women from the area to accompany us in our endeavors.

We started our journey yesterday afternoon and before the fall of the evening, we were already in New Orleans. Everybody seemed happy with some adoring special attires to mark Murdy Gras Day. As per our plan, we checked in at one of the famous bars. The mood inside was exciting. People were very many. Something peculiar struck us though, one side of the bar had relatively few patrons with some tables empty. We did not bother to find out why more people preferred one side of the bar to the other.

The mood did not allow us to do that. After approximately two minutes, a young beautiful waiter came, and we placed our orders. The first round of beers came, and we cleared it fast. The waiter enquired if we were comfortable with paying for the first set before proceeding to the next one. We retorted that it should come at the end of drinking. We ordered for several rounds of assorted beers. The interesting part came when we requested for the final bill for the evening. The bill was double my expectation.

On enquiry, we realized that the cost of beer was almost double the normal rate. Besides the cost of beer being high, the waiter explained that the table we occupied had a different rate from the rest. Ignorance has no defense. We had no more cash as the bill was far much high. We came to an agreement with the bar owner that we be waiters for the rest of the night. It was embarrassing and funny. Before travelling to New Orleans, we had organized to meet with the girls after drinking. We resorted to being offline as a way of escaping from the girls.

As the night progressed, we went round serving patrons at the bar. An unfortunate coincidence occurred just when we were about to finish the waiting role. The women we were to meet happened to occupy one of the tables I was serving. It was an amusing scenario and embarrassing at the same time. The thought of serving a girl you are interested in was a spoiler for the whole Murdy Gras DayWorks CitedMacMillan, Dianne M. Mardi Gras. Berkeley Heights, N.J: Enslow Pub, 2008. Print.
