This T-shirt makes a good point.
Stop wasting money buying $3.00+ / gallon gas to run around to all the local
bars and overpay for your drinks. Sure, all the hot chicks hang out at the local bar pub and club, but tell everyone YOU have a bar in your home and they'll come flocking over to save money and have more fun than you could have in any public establishment. |  | |
