A Helmet Good Enough for the Clubs

After being kicked out of his house for cheating on his wife Sharon, John has been chilling at his friend, Mike’s apartment. It’s Saturday night, the weather is perfect, and the mood is just right…

“Shoot, Mike! What time is it?”

“It’s 11:00 man.”

“Crap! Guest list closes at 11:30.”

“Dude, we’ll never make it downtown in time…especially with traffic right now. I told you not to smoke so much.”

“Shut up! We got to find a way to the club, its Lady Gaga night. Chicks dig Lady Gaga so the place will be swarming with all kinds of hotties.”

“Why do you care so much about hotties? Aren’t you trying to patch things up with Sharon?” Mike asked.

“Yeah, Sharon’s important, but that can wait. I got it! Grab your helmet. We’ll bike it down there.”

“What? Are you insane? I don’t want to be all sweaty when I get to the club. We’ll just go next week.”

“No! I told you it’s Lady Gaga night, we have to go.”

20 minutes later John and Mike arrive at the club. As they are about to be let into the club the bouncer stops them.

“Excuse me sir,” the bouncer points to Mike, “you can’t wear that helmet into the club.”

“Oh, my bad, I forgot to take it off.” Mike takes off the helmet, “there we go, all good right?”

“Uh, I don’t think so. What’s up with your hair? And what’s with that shirt? That looks like something a douche bag would wear. I can’t let you in. Sorry.” The bouncer then points to John signaling that he can enter the club.

“Thanks!” As John walks by he gently taps on his Yakkay helmet hat and winks at Mike, “See ya in a few hours! Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-poker face!”
