As is the case herein, many of these tales are very old. Are there any new shaggy dog stories?
A physician made it his regular habit to stop off at a local bar for a hazelnut daiquiri before going home. The bartender knew this, and would always have the drink waiting for him by 5:00 PM. One afternoon as the end of the work day approached, the bartender was dismayed to find that he was out of hazelnuts. Thinking quickly, he threw together a daiquiri made with substitute nuts, and set it on the bar. The doctor came in at his usual time, took one sip of the drink, and said, “Why, this isn’t my usual daiquiri!”
“No,” replied the bartender, “It’s a hickory daiquiri, Doc.”
