“Marco and I went to a bar and he invited me a beer.”
This is an inference, Miami English, "I later learned Marco did not have a penis."

Many of you are probably wondering who the guy is in the previous sandwich picture. He a security guard who looks over our front office (current pic). He carries weapons of mass destruction. Portable.

Not in line.
Major cities have trouble with linear thinking.
