Saloon Stepping

It was getting harder for me to find someone to talk to in those days. I had arrived drunk at the bar that night, had spotted a couple I thought I knew, and walked over to their table. Too late I realized that they only vaguely resembled my friends, but no matter. I would buy them a round, and they would be my new friends! Soon the couple got up in disgust, and I was left trying to talk to their friend.
