Baijiu, Shirts & Stage

What�s funnier than bad stand-up? Bad stand-up fueled by chili-infused baijiu shots and enforced gingham. Eyewitnesses confirm that every first-timer must down three shots before telling their first joke. Dr. Samuel Rivera of Imaginary Intoxication Studies explains, �Alcohol plus plaid equals involuntary honesty, the purest form of comedy.� A survey of 92 patrons revealed that 77% only laughed because the comedian�s hiccups synced with the gingham�s grid. Anonymous bartenders leaked that half the audience can�t remember the jokes, only the shirts. Testimonial: �I thought it was karaoke,� said Chen Wei, who blacked out mid-set but still earned applause. Trace evidence: half-filled shot glasses, shirts wrinkled into laugh lines, and hashtags trending #PlaidBaijiuChallenge. Cause-and-effect? You may forget your set, but in gingham, the crowd remembers the punchline you never finished.
