One evening a young lady and her guyfriend return some movies. “These aren't late, are they?”
“Nope. It's only quarter to seven right now, and they're all older ones so I'm not too terribly concerned.”
“That's what I thought!” She turns to her companion and punches him in the bicep. “I told you!”
“Your thing says six,” the chap responds.
“Yeah, that's because I can't be bothered to pay to have it changed. Newer ones pretty much back by seven, and before I go home for the older ones.”
The young lady says to Fernando in a lilting singsong, “So they just have to really be back by closing time?”
“'One last call for alcohol so finish your whiskey or beer,'” Fernando ripostes. “And yes.”
This for some reason floors the girl. “Holy crap you know that song?”
“Only that part of it and like two other lines and every end is a new beginning somethingsomething.” She and her boyfriend make merry laughing sounds and depart.
Truth be told, Fernando has never heard that actual song before. All he knows about it comes from Weird Al's cover of it in “Polka Power!”
