Heard on The Judges: "bartend(e)ress"

[Wilson Gray]

Spoken by Judge Joe Brown:

"Oh. She was the _bartend(e)ress_ at a bikini bar."


There are a lot of us more-mature men who are unable to get ready for
the replacement of "barmaid" by "bartender" and who are, therefore,
unconsciously forced to try to do something about it.

-Wilson

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
