Back in the day I spent several years working as a bartender. One night the restaurant I worked for was catering a Christmas party and one of the guests was a well known local celebrity. I served her 9 vodka and grapefruit juices. She ended up in the ladies room and, as Jackie Gleason used to say, she ended up on her knees "driving the porcelain bus." She came out of the bathroom and then asked for everyone's attention as she had an important announcement to make. "Please," she said, "don't anyone go near the sausages on the buffet table as I just had a very bad case of food poisoning." One of my fondest bartending memories.
