Unkie, what is the proper protocol for this situation:

- In a shitty airport bar with only one TV
- Said TV is showing an interesting NFL game

- Old fucker walks into bar, asks the bartender to switch it to golf
- Bartender (despite being one of the 8) obliges
Given that it's in an airport (read: high security zone), keep the old fart happy.

. . . any other bar, you sucker punch him.

That's not the issue. The issue is the old person should've known better.

What the rest of the bar wants>what you want.

Allowing for the gas stops, yes.

I did it in 14 in my Jetta, with only one stop for gas in Grant's Pass.
