I know this partially on first principle and perhaps partially because one night not quite 20 years ago I ordered a “chocolate martini” in a bar in the East Village on the north side of Houston. In my defense I had a number of real martinis before this horrific error. A number like maybe in double digits. And after say 10 or 12 real martinis I wanted some variety. I erred. I erred so badly that I still remember where the bar was in late 2001 and that I had a “chocolate martini”. I’m sure the pain was from that not the previous 10 or 12 real martinis. Or 15.



We will just use the smile emoji. There isn’t one to describe the impact.
