On a recent
Tuesday night, I saw one of the funniest bar promotions
I have ever seen! At Jimmy's
Old Town Tavern in Herndon, VA, owner Jimmy Cirrito
announced that at 10:30 all TVs would be turned to the
latest episode of The
Osbournes on MTV.
Then he went around the bar with a pitcher and had
everybody buy a guess for $1 as to how many times there
would be a bleep during the show. The closest bid
without going over would win a $25 gift certificate to
Jimmy's. All money collected would go to his favorite
charity.
Of course,
just about everybody participated and stayed for the
duration of the show (you had to be present to win). All
eyes were glued to the TVs. It was absolutely
hysterical! Not only were counting the amount of bleeps
amusing, but watching Ozzy's attempt to build a fire pit
on the show were funny as well. At the end of the
episode, Jimmy announced the lucky winner who guessed
just under the 41 bleeps counted and voiced to everyone
to come back every Tuesday for further episodes in the
Osbourne saga.
