Dark and Stormy

It's 2:00 p.m. and I've been out drinking.  I have been to two "taverns", I don't think they refer to their bars as bars here..which is good because I like the term tavern better.  I'm not drunk, just have a buzz...My friend took me to one tavern for lunch, and had a beer I've never had before..it was dark, it was good.  My friend said I needed to try a drink called a "Dark and Stormy"....so they  took me to another  tavern called the "Blue Comet".  It was cool..so cool.  It had a 1940's look with the chrome, and the naked picture of a pin-up behind the bar. There was a TV hanging in the corner, like TVs generally are in bars, but being a tavern, this TV was different because it was off, a sign was taped to the screen which read, "TALK TO THE PERSON NEXT TO YOU". The Dark and Stormy was sooooo good...one if the ingredients was ginger...and perhaps a lil too much was used because it had a bite in the back of my throat...but the drink hit the spot.  I wasn't sad while drinking the Dark the Stormy...so like the TV told me, I talked to the person next to me, and I was happy.
