I’ve had a request to start including quotes from “Brick” on a regular basis.\u00a0 Brick is a brunette who is a waitress at the Saucer.\u00a0 Her real name’s Katie.\u00a0 She’s been asking me to mention her on the blog for a while, so now she’s going to get her wish.\u00a0 Not sure how she acquired her nickname – my friends just started calling her “Brick” for some reason and I went along with it.\u00a0 Maybe it’s because she’s built like a brick house, I don’t know.\u00a0 She needs to stop wearing tights under her skirt so we have a better view.<\/p>\n
So anyway, here’s the first Brick quote of the week.\u00a0 It’s from Tuesday at the Saucer, when we were there for trivia night.\u00a0 Pete the Trivia Guy kicked off Round 1 with this question:\u00a0 “What element makes up 89% of the weight of water?”<\/p>\n
At trivia night, you can’t phone a friend or use a smartphone as a lifeline, but there’s no reason why you can’t ask a waitress.\u00a0 So I called Brick over and asked her what the answer was.<\/p>\n
She replied, “I don’t know… steam?”<\/p>\n
Of course.\u00a0 Steam!\u00a0 What’s its symbol on the chart of elements – is it St or Sm?\u00a0 Never can remember.\u00a0 Only thing is, I’m a really bad speller, so when I wrote down “steam” as the answer, I misspelled it o-x-y-g-e-n.\u00a0 Pete thought that was close enough to the correct spelling and gave us credit.\u00a0 Thanks, Brick!<\/p>\n
