Bar Math

There are five likely females (not counting the barmaid), plus a few calculating men. There are others, dead-eyed drinkers and such, who don’t count. Time to figure odds. The five likely women, followed by the calculating dudes, schlep each other out the door. Not counting the barmaid, I subtract myself then add the daytime loafers. The drunks have pissed away each other’s money and are out of luck again. It’s time to strike, I count the barmaid in.
