Ninja drinking buddies
Drink heavily without being aware of the devestating consequences on your most basic motor functions | |
Ninjas. Everybodies favorite martial artist assassins.
Silent, invisible, dexterous and deadly. But nowadays alas, many Ninjas are finding themselves on the dole-queues with nothing to do. Ruthless daimyo's simply don't call for the services of your average ninja any more, and the more modern, urban
ninjas are equally under-employed.
How about utilising this surplus of talent to assist the inebriated in bars, whilst creaming off a tidy profit? A nudge of an elbow just before it slips off the bar to preserve the upright stance and dignity of the nudgee, a gentle guiding arm to stop a pint being spilled needlessly, or a carefully honed set of manoeuvres to steer someone safely to the gents (or the ladies) without getting in anyone else’s way.
In short, how about a chain of bars, in which are employed an army of ninjas, all of whom are tasked to invisibly correct the collapsing motor functions of the horribly drunk.
Somehow fits...

A more flexible arrangement would be for the non- (or not-yet-) horribly drunk. How about an army of freelance ninjas, who you could call like a taxi? They'd meet you at a bar, and upon request, could silently, efficiently, and swiftly get you a drink from the overworked bartender. Spend your time where it's best used: drinking and carousing, not waiting for a refill!

I'll vote for this as long as you use a monk for the bartender. |
|
| |
Do the ninjas join in if a fight breaks out? |

What a waste of ninjas. When's the killing start??? |

I must vote for this on principle. Ninjas and Inebriation. |

Just a short autobiographical note: After 4+ years of working all over the place, I have finally returned to the very same office I was working* in when I first looked on the HB - an office from whence I may well have posted this idea. And they *still* haven't blocked the 'bakery - Hoorah! |

P.S. It all feels a bit strange. |

<overpedantic> //...I have finally returned to the very same office I was working in...// - tchah! - "in which I was working", you mean.</overpedantic>
These ninjas would be trained in the use of reproduction horse brasses, I assume? |
