21st birthdays only come along once in a lifetime and it's always fun when you get to be a part of one. My friend Todd turned 21 while on a business trip to NYC. We went to 230 5th Avenue which boasts that it is the largest rooftop bar in Manhattan (which I totally believe!). Its an upscale swanky type of lounge that was a lot of fun.
My favorite parts of the night.. watching the bday boy imbibe and totally enjoy himself and Maggie and I lying to men who were trying to pick us up. Here's the story behind that...
We have these two guys that work with us that lie like hell to girls all the time when they go out. They make up stories and tell them that they are traders to get them to like them and the girls always believe it. They put on sports coats and go out to make the story more believable. So... these guys were hitting on Maggie and I at the bar and they were slightly annoying - you know, trying to build themselves up and bragging about what they do. Come to find out they work at a competitor. We wanted to shut them down.. so we lied and told them we were international equity traders. It took about a full two minutes before they turned around and left. Hilarious. Success in life is measured by career, sucess in picking up men is measured by how much less intelligent you seem to them.
