SUCCESS THROUGH FAILURE
“It’s Tuesday,” said Chris. “Who the hell goes out on Tuesday night?”
“It’s either that, or we sit around and watch Comedy Central for the 12th hour in a row,” I
said.
My buddy Chris and his buddy Paul looked at each other. We were at Chris’s apartment
off campus, laying around, drinking beer and watching TV. I was going stir crazy. I
wanted to go out and meet girls.
In terms of success with women, Chris and Paul weren’t quite as hopeless as me. They
were both decent looking, athletic guys, but they suffered from the problem many guys
suffer from – dating ignorance.
But when you get to the heart of the subject, they would rather be making out with some
girl than hanging with a bunch of dudes watching TV.
“C’mon, we can go to the Scramjet. Its cheap beer night, so there will probably be lots of
girls there.”
The promise of girls and cheap beer was enough to get Chris and Paul off the couch and
out into the real world. We walked from Chris’s place down to the Scramjet, a bar across
the street from a cheap video store, which was situated above a sporting goods store in
the back alley off the main road outside of campus.
As we walked in, it was immediately apparent that Christ was right. No one goes out on
a Tuesday night. The bar was almost empty.
“Good call, Joe,” said Chris, patting me on the back.
“Funny,” I replied. “It’s still early. Let’s make the best of it, okay?”
So we grab a table and Paul gets a pitcher of beer. About twenty minutes into the pitcher,
a group of four girls come walking into the bar. They go sit down at a table. Chris, Paul,
and I instantly perk up.
I turn to Chris. “Dude, go invite those girls to join us!”
“You do it,” said Chris. “I’m busy drinking.”
