Ha, yeah, the Happy part was not excitement over cheap chicken,
but Happy because you just belted down a couple of drinks after
work and before going home.

There are so many rules about booze that I'm not surprised about
the Happy Hour laws some states have. Probably not a great idea
to encourage people to down as many cheap drinks as they can in
an hour or so.

So this place, for instance, has an attitude adjustment period with
$5 appetizers. Nice selection. We can eat a nice dinner for $15 plus
drinks and tips. This isn't exactly health food but once in a while,
I like appetizers for dinner.
