Vodka Class Reunion

SMIRNOFF: Absolut! Hey man, what’s going on?
ABSOLUT: Absolut nothing. How are you doing?
SMIRNOFF: Uh, I’m alright. Hey man, remember when we were playing lacrosse together? That rocked!
ABSOLUT: Yeah. You were totally B-team, weren’t you?
SMIRNOFF: Well, yeah, we played a couple of times together though. Didn’t Coach give captain to Ketel One instead of you?
ABSOLUT: I fucking hate Ketel One. Let’s talk about something else.
Grey Goose walks in
SMIRNOFF: Oh, shit. Not this guy.
ABSOLUT: Uh, hey Goose.
GREY GOOSE: Hey boys! Check out my new packaging. Sexy, no?
SMIRNOFF: Yeah, that’s cool I guess.
ABSOLUT: Absolut gay. (Smirnoff and Absolut snicker, high five)
SMIRNOFF: Goose, you’ve been spending a lot of time with Lemonade lately, haven’t you? Didn’t he come out of the closet a little while ago?
GREY GOOSE: Ugh, you guys are soo lame. What are we listening to right now? I just want to listen to some house music. Some beats.
Ketel One walks in with Tonic
KETEL ONE: What up, Chief?
SMIRNOFF: Ketel! How you doing?
ABSOLUT: Hi, Tonic. What are you doing here?
GREY GOOSE: Yeah, baby. Why are you with Ketel One? Why haven’t you been returning my calls?
TONIC: Me and Ketel have been dating for the past couple of months.
KETEL ONE: Check out Tonic’s necklace. Set me back a couple of bones. No big.
ABSOLUT: Tonic, you slut!
TONIC: We never dated, Absolut. We were only together during open bar.
ABSOLUT: That’s not what you said at the time. Whatever, Red Bull’s way better in bed.
SMIRNOFF: Wait. Red Bull never told me she was with any other guys.
GREY GOOSE: Get real, boyfriend. I’ve even been with Red Bull.
KETEL ONE: Yeah, bro, Red Bull’s a total hoe.
ABSOLUT: Yo, what’s Mountain Dew doing here? I heard she got knocked up a while ago.
