President’s Day
Ben
No President's Day holidate?
Lainey
This is a holiday for government employees and teachers. This is not a date holiday.
Ben
Tell that to all the employees with the day off. Perfect day for a date.
Lainey
Then what is Red Poppy doing for the holiday? Got a drink special?
Ben
You know, I've actually been thinking about that, but everything I've come up with is related to scandals. Probably not the point of the holiday.
I did think about doing something with Bush...a shot with coconut flakes on the rim.
Lainey
OMG!!!
You seriously made me spit coffee all over my phone.
Ben
It's clever, right?
Lainey
No one’s going to order that.
Ben
You'd be surprised what people order. Folks love themed drinks. Especially naughty ones.
I can do some sort of bourbon martini.
Lainey
An Old Fashioned! Now that's funny.
Ben
It is?
Lainey
Because presidents are old-fashioned. Get it?
Ben
If you have to explain the joke, it's not funny.
Lainey
Whatever.
Ben
I'll come up with something. Check IG later.
Lainey
Speaking of your IG...I saw you advertising for Mardi Gras. A Jazz Night sounds awesome. And a hurricane in martini form? Yes, please! I was thinking of putting Red Poppy as a date option for today's post for tomorrow. Are you good with that?
Ben
Yeah, I'm not going to pass up free advertising.
What is your date for tomorrow anyway?
Lainey
Not sure. We partnered with this new dating app so I have to pick my date from that. I've narrowed it down to two guys.
Ben
Need help?
Lainey
I can pick out my own date.
Ben
You do remember your last one, right?
Lainey
Oh, I came up with some screener questions based off that date.
Ben
Ha! Good idea. You're not planning on wearing sexy lingerie again, are you?
Lainey
And if I am?
Ben
I think that's more of a 50th-date thing.
Lainey
Me wearing lingerie on a 1st date worked out for you, didn't it?
Ben
Absolutely! And you can wear it for me any time!
Lainey
Goodbye, Ben.
Ben
Happy President's Day, Lainey.
Lainey
The Smoky Martini seems like a nice presidential choice. But why do I feel like the cigar in the pic has a dual meaning??
Ben
What? It's a smoky martini, so a smoking cigar fits. It has nothing whatsoever to do with a certain president's scandal.
Lainey
Sure...
Well played, sir.
