Is there any beer left?

So Jeran and I went to the Bioinformatics and Computational Biology Christmas party the other day. It was held in a group gathering room in the Carolina Brewery. We got some food but skipped the drink table, knowing what was probably in all those pitchers. It was pretty crowded so we were sitting in the only open chairs at the end of this group of tables. We were talking to some people Jeran knows and after a while, one of the guys sitting tucked against the wall with his back to the drink table asks "Hey Mindy, is there any beer left over there?" because I had a clear line of sight. "Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm," I said as I look at the table (it was a very long look), before Jeran turns around to glance at the drinks and says, "Yes there is. Sorry, I don't think she knows what beer looks like". True that. I thought those pitchers with lemons on them must have been Coke or something but apparently not. I also learned what that funny smell in the place was when I asked Jeran about it afterwards. Yet one more thing to add to my list of things that smell really bad, along with coffee, cigarettes, and eggs. Anyways, it was funny and I'm glad to say I wasn't ashamed at all to not be able to tell if there was any beer left.
