Older lady runs up: Hey, they're boarding us right NOW...

NY Dude: What happened to the 30 minute delay? Aw hell, make that 3 more Bud Lights.

Bartender: You still want the cosmos and vodkas?

NY Dude: Yeah - and 3 more Bud Lights. So, what happened to the 30 minute delay?

NY Dude (to one in particular): The guy said a 30 minute delay.

Bartender: That's $61.75

NY Dude: Thanks. Hey, buddy (making a big show), THIS is for you (hands bartender a $20 bill).

NY dude and older lady swagger off down the terminal carrying drinks.
