"The woman behind the bar called out: 'Why do you stand like hypnotized fish? Did you come to drink beer or to eat food?' 'Be patient,' said Gersen. 'We are making our decision.' The remark annoyed the woman. Her voice took on a coarse edge. "Be patient,' you say? All night I pour beer for crapulous men; isn't that patience enough? Come over here, backwards; I'll put this spigot somewhere amazing, at full gush, and then we'll discover who calls for patience!"
