"bar keep, I'd like a lemonade," says I.
"I'll have a vodka," says Bob.
"Well, I wouldn't usually do this, Bob, but here you go." Says mr. schpitzter.
"Well, Bob, howis your life going so far?" says I.
"Well, " says Bob, as his eyes glaze over and he gets into story mode....
In another life there is this beautiful maiden, and she is the daughter of the greatest king in the land...
A prince seeked to court her... the king knew of this, but He was not ready to give him the go ahead to do this. The king has infinite knowledge, but he obviously had his reasons for not giving this maidens hand to the prince. It might have been that the prince was not ready for a relationship, or that his daughter was not ready for one. But either way, the king said no for now. The prince asked him just about every day. It seemed that the king was in silence for quite some time. The prince thought to just give up on her, but the king said in a secretive voice, "How do you know you *might* regret it? hm? I'd stick around. After all, if you feel so strongly for her and I think she's for you... then something might happen...."
So the prince left the castle that day and told himself that he wouldn't take her hand in his till he got the king's blessing.

I just about fell over off my chair when he finished. "That was pretty good, Bob!"
"Well, I have some abilities. Hope you get the girl!" bob said as he left the table with a wink....
