“The fact that you have a public gathering place where people can sit down and have a pint and have their fish stew, they’re not laboring under the tyranny of kings,”

Oh, I don't know. We're now laboring under the tyranny of Wokeness and Leftism and a lot of us still manage to occasionally go down to the corner watering hole to soak up some suds.

A Mesopotamian walked into a bar. The bartender said, “Nice outfit! Where’d you get that from?” “The cuneiform store,” he replied, “Where else?”

In the corner, a pile of clay tablets, with a bunch of wedge-shaped marks indicating the tabs of various tavern patrons. Thanks Red Badger.
