Stefano Benni: Baol: one peaceful regime night
When I'm really in a bad mood, I go to a bar called Apocalypso: It's a multi-purpose, cross-class and transdiversal bar: until midnight, people go there who go elsewhere afterwards. After midnight, there are those who have nowhere to go but there. After four, he is visited by those who don't even know where they are anymore.
The bartender's name is Pepita, because he got hit in the face with a bottle so many times that he is all dice and diamonds. They could use it as a dartboard (in fact, sometimes they do). His specialty is cocktails: the bachelors laugh hard and the winning team turns out. His legendary cocktails are: Matični, Odmazda and Jabijedanod.
Matični is called that because, if you drink more than two, you have to go to the registry office to be told who you are. Retaliation consists of twenty parts Italian brandy to one German brandy. And then there is Jabiedanod. Incredible. When you drink it, you immediately want another tank. And then you ask, just like his name says: "I would like one of..." Only no one ever finishes the sentence, everyone collapses on the floor before that.
