Eats, Drinks, And Eyebrow Leaves

(Some friends and I have just been a another friend’s flat-warming party. It was a costume party, and it is coincidentally on St. Patrick’s Day. After the party, we head to a fast food spot to grab a bite to eat. It is about three in the morning, and the small twenty-four-hour section is packed with drunk people. I am dressed as Poison Ivy.)

Drunk Irish Man: “Why do you have leaves in your eyebrows?”

Me: “I’m in costume. I’m Poison Ivy.”

Drunk Irish Man: “But why do you have leaves in your eyebrows? You’re pretty, but you’d look much better without the leaves in your eyebrows.”

Me: “I just came from a costume party; it’s a costume.”

(The conversation continues in this vein for a while and then becomes a more normal, casual conversation.)

Drunk Irish Man: “You’re a nice girl. I came to New Zealand to find a nice girl and get married.”

Me: “Oh… well, that’s not really the best reason to travel. I’m sure there are nice girls in Ireland, and you shouldn’t just go somewhere just to find a wife—”

Drunk Irish Man: “BUT WHY DO YOU HAVE LEAVES IN YOUR EYEBROWS?!”
