Why Being a Dad is Hard
-
I had to take some stuff[tm] over to my parents. On the way, by pure chance, I met my Dad as he walked home and we were about to pass the pub when he suggested a glass. Now, the Dad Rules state [Section 3.2.4 - Dad's Always Buy] that being a father it is my responsibility to buy. But my father is also a Dad, well he would have to be, so he has to buy. Splitting the bill is something only other people do. So I bought the drinks. This placed Dad in the awkward position of being a Drink Down. So he did what all Dad's must do a bought another round. This'll never work, he's bought me a beer so I must reciprocate and my reciprocation will no doubt be reciprocated. As I said, being a Dad is hard. :cool:

I always called it the 'Irish Round'. Buy a drink for everyone who's bought you one plus anyone else you care for. They are then obliged to return the compliment and so it continues.

Yeah that would work. Years ago I worked as a welder in the North US and worked with gents of all persuasions and we would all go to the pub across the street from the plant and I would end up drinking and buying all flavors of liquors because I worked with Mexicans, Germans, Dutch, etc.. Was an interesting experience!

I always favoured 'buying out'. You drank your fill and then paid the bill when you wanted to leave; early leavers got fracked but those of a stronger disposition generally got by lightly...

Maybe you do, never happened to me. A bad example was buying a piss, similar rule but you paid to leave the bar, i.e. just go the loo. I've seen £100+ tabs hit before the first one wavered...

I think I passed out drunk once, after a three-legged pub-crawl (well, thirteen-legged if I remember correctly, they were twelve of us ties together IIRC) at university. But I had got back to the girlfriends room first, much to her annoyance. But guess who carried the razor? ;)
