“ For some very strange reason the long hair redheaded bartender would not serve me. I wasn't shut off, she was just a complete curmudgeon. Cheer up sister, I know you are a bartender in Laconia, have red hair and ain't so purdy, and you probably hate your life but make the best of it or you will get that sour look stuck on your face forever ”
