But after listening to a few songs, I knew that I was going to have a good time that evening. Gave the order to slash the price of drinks to 50-cents each. Also told the bartenders to help themselves and to not forget the waiters and waitresses.

Everyone had the time of their lives.

The next morning, while trying to explain to hotel management how I only managed to collect around $750 for over 2,000 mixed drinks, hotel guests were shaking my hand for the great time they had the night before.
Haha.. nothing compares to good polka..
