Imagine the scene. A young woman bartender. Cute. Friendly. Mixes all the good drinks. A pro, even at her (not) advanced years. Swamped behind a convention hotel lobby bar. Your Epic stationed at one corner of said bar nursing a late night martini. A fellow elbows his way to the rail, asks for a glass of water. Nice looking young man. Blazer and tie. VERY odd attire for this crowd. She hands over the H2O and he slides over a twenty dollar bill. "Here's for all the water you poured for me tonight".
And here's to you sir, whoever you are. Fellows like you give those of us a generation [or two] farther along a glimmer of hope for the future of gentlemanly behavior. Here's to you.

Ah yes, but these fellow are few and far between.
I have less hope for the future than you do.
What a great story! So glad to see the younger generation stepping up! Thanks for sharing. xoxo
Indeed. And my, how rare these instances are.
Nice to hear, rare to see. There's hope!
I join you in raising a glass to this gentleman.
BDV, awww come on. To quote Gandalf in Lord of the Rings, "there was always only a fool's hope..." but hope there is.
BTS, I knew you would appreciate this one. If I ever did drink water in a bar, which I don't recall ever doing, I would tip for the service. As Sinatra was wont to say when offered a water back for his JD, "no thanks. I'm not dirty, I'm thirsty".
Thanks all, for your comments and visits!

Love this :O)
My husband is that kind of guy and I am sure will be teaching our son to be the same :O)
SP, in my experience that is usually where it comes from. And a worthy effort.
