The bartender, trying to maintain his composure, replied, "Well, that's not a recipe I'm familiar with, but I'll see what I can do." To everyone's amusement, the customer received a cocktail made with a generous helping of Benadryl.

When asked why he ventured out in such terrible weather, he simply replied, "Because it's Saturday happy hour, and I wouldn't miss it for the world."
