I’m at an impromptu comedy show. No one is on stage yet and it’s already hilarious. I’m overhearing a first date conversation. It’s not intentional. But when two slightly insecure people are in unfamiliar territory with each other it resonates at a certain volume. 

“I told my grandmother I went to a dive bar. She freaked out and I’m like ‘Meemaw, I went with a group of 20 girls, it was totally safe.'”

In my experience at dive bars, girls arriving to in groups are about as safe as their slowest member.  Blowing off steam together is code for women to test their cultural morals and public indecency laws.  If you are a member of that group you either do the crazy things or attempt to prevent the crazy things.  Somewhere in there someone usually gets laid.  If you’re lucky, it’s not your girlfriend.

I’m excited for the show.  I need a good laugh.
