So, last weekend I went to an old lounge called, Melvyn's in the heart of Palm Springs, California.
Palm Springs is known for it's Old Hollywood flare due to all of the Old Hollywood stars hanging out there.
Melvyn's was a GREAT place. There was a live piano player who played anything from The Beatles, to Lionel Richie, to "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke. He even went around and introduced himself to the guests.
People from their 20s to their 80s got up and danced, very classy, to the music.
The waiters and waitresses were all dressed up.
Melvyn's is an old place where Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra would hang around for a drink. Those are just a few big names that used to frequent the joint. The place had so much history and so much life in it, I would go back every weekend if I could.
The best part were the napkins, which had Frank Sinatra's face all on them. (I'd show a picture, but I'm having technical difficulties).
Moving right along, we had a few too many drinks, and were ready to go.
We called a taxi cab to come and pick us up, and when the Prius taxi arrived, we hopped right in.
We made the normal small talk with the taxi driver, but SUDDENLY your boy is THROWN from the seat, face plants into the passenger seat, then onto the floor of the loud clanking Prius!!
This man almost RAN A STOP LIGHT! Cars honking and all!
My life was in DANGER!
I made an exaggerated "OOOMPH" sound as I hit the floor to make it known that I was thrown from my seat.
This crazy taxi driver played it off as smooth as whipped cream in hot coffee. He just continued the conversation like nothing happened.
When the light finally turned green I decided to pay more attention to this man since my life was in his hands, and that's when I noticed his slightly slurred speech.
OH HELL NO! We're slurring AND our taxi driver is too? I couldn't believe it. But we were almost home, so I just hopped right on out paid him his little tip (which he DID NOT deserve) and stumbled on inside.
Let this be a lesson for ALL of you out there:
HAVE YOUR TAXI OR UBER DRIVER PERFORM A SOBRIETY TEST IF YOU HAVE TO.
It's not safe out here anymore!
Anyway, I'm here writing this, so I made it out alive, y'all.
Take care, and call your next of kin if you have to. These taxi drivers are a joke.
