Evil Jack
If you happen to go into Laszlo’s (http://www.laszlobar.com/) on the weekend during the day (*never, ever go at night*), either Jack or Kite will be working. Kite is an angel. Truly. xox. Jack - a little devil. Beware because Jack likes to see people teeter out of that bar whilst they entered with their wits about them. That perpetual twinkle in his eyes is one of mischief!
That said, he does make a mean drink and has great suggestions. For instance, if you order a Moscow Mule on a hot day, he’ll convince you to drink a “Jack’s Ass.”
Jack’s Ass Recipe: —> Moscow Mule but >insert< pepper vodka in place of regular vodka.
Yum! So thanks to Jack for being so damn evil - and lovely at the same time.
The bartender that wants you to drink his ass!
That’s hilarious, but I can’t help but clear a few things up. A mule and an ass are not the same thing.
Mule: A domesticated, hybrid animal that results from crossing a mare (female horse) and a jack (male donkey).
Donkey: A domesticated ass.
Ass: A four-footed, hoofed mammal related to the horse, but smaller, with longer ears and a shorter mane, shorter hair on the tail, and a dark stripe along the back.
So, it seems the aforementioned jackass is simply a male ass. The main difference between the jackass and the donkey is their domestication — the ass is wild; the donkey is domesticated.
So, it stands to reason one could argue whether the bartender was just an ass or a donkey, the substitution of “ass” for “mule” is not kosher. Or maybe his touch behind the bar is that of a mare, and I stand corrected.
Thank you for clarifying. And it is good to know that the Jack, as well as Jack the bartender, are domesticated albeit the latter devilishly so.
