> [@Spoons](#): > > So it’s true: you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave. I like to think of us as the friendly, local’s only bar, where you’re always remembered by at least a few, but those few will also never let you live down that screw-up(s) from _decades_ ago. Oh, and we’ll all metaphorically shank you in the bathroom over a bit of petty pedantry! But a good place and good memories nevertheless!

Sorry, but your paperwork is out of date, and we need you to fill out a few forms to be sure we have all your current information, or just answer these questions, and answer carefully… - Hot dogs - mustard or ketchup? - Toilet paper - over or under? - Corn on the cob - across or around? Please choose and then have a seat and we’ll be with you in a few minutes. ---
