A most bizarre event!

(1/5) > >>

Lord Shagg-Pyle:
Last night, I went into a pub. Nothing bizarre in that, for those who know me, but what happened next left me speachless!
I noted that the pub served Leffe Belgian Beer on draught! Excellent, I thought, thats me sorted for the night!
So I approached the bar and asked the young barman for 'a pint of Leffe please'.
He looked bemused, and then said "I can only sell it in half pints"
"Why?"
"Er, because it is a strong beer and it is expensive"
"I know, I am well versed in the ways of Leffe"
"You might get drunk and get mental"
"I see your point, but trust me I won't. All I want is a pint of Leffe, so I can go and sit outside in the sunshine of this beautiful evening and relax"
"Er, I can sell you two half pints"
"Doesn't that then defeat the object?"
"I don't understand what you mean"
"You won't sell me a pint of Leffe in a pint glass, in case I drink it and go 'mental', but you will sell me two half pint glasses of Leffe, at the the same time"
"Yeah"
I was now trying to work out the logic of what I was hearing. Perhaps the young barman was:
 A) Concerned for my mental wellbeing. Too late.
 B) Concerned for the wellbeing of my wallet. Too late
 C) Concerned that I did not understand that Leffe was alledgedley not brewed by monks in Belguim, but was in fact made by Satan in his own Hellish brewery.
I eventually gave in and got two half pints, and asked, as a joke, that they be poured into a pint glass, which he then did!

What is going on? Am I now not allowed to make decision of my own about what I drink?
Before I start getting preached at, yes, I do know alcohol is bad for you, but please don't treat me like a child! :roll:
Has anyone else encountered such absurdity?

Use alcohol responsibly!

Bunnie:
indeed id have spoken to the land lord...

but out of pure intrest can i know which pub it was?

i can understand them saying after like 4/5 or what ever 'i'm sorry sir, i am refusing to serve you because your drunk'... or something along those lines.

we serve scrumpy cider @ 7.3 %! leffee is only 6.6!

i will agree with the expensive bit tho.
