My friend StB tells the story of a woman so desperate to see Bon Jovi she stopped at Hooters the other day and bought $60.00 in beer in a vain hope to win tickets. It’s enough to drive a man to drink. Fortunately for my friend he was already at the bar.
Ya see, Miller Brewing is celebrating its 150th anniversary by violating the Second Law of Wigderson Economics: Free tickets are stupid. They gave away all the tickets to Bon Jovi, and now the scramble is on. Apparently a lot of people just could not get enough of him campaigning for John Kerry last year.
Somebody should’ve introduced the desperate beer-buying woman to the world of ticket brokers and Ebay. For approximately $200 she would have sure tickets and peace of mind. The downside? It’s Bon Jovi.
Now I need that drink.
