So the bartender from the original "Cheers" in Boston has just been laid-off. Wow, this economy is bad! Talk about a real economic indicator.
Now somehow, I feel a little better about my situation. Not only for the "misery loves company thing", but if a guy like that can be cut after a few decades of workin' the bar, and just before the biggest drinking day of the year, (especially in Boston), then I guess things really are in the tank. (Sorry!)
He's got to be up there a bit in years. Maybe there was some age discrimination there? On TV at least, almost all of the bartenders are young, good-lookers. Maybe that's what they need more of at Cheers. He should get a lawyer. Come to think of it, maybe that's what I should do?
Naw. Too young and too good looking. Guess it is the economy thing after all.
