Don't make me dig up my match.com story. I'll do it.

I worked at a legendary bar in Seattle. The staff was thoroughly tribal. Incredible group of people - while most people formed relationships in college, mine were with a bunch of meth-addicted bartenders and musicians. Good people; most of them aren't even dead.

Anyway. One of the pastimes this crew would had was to get on the Jerry Springer show. No less than eight of them had been on it. They traded tips. It was almost a rite of passage. And just like pro wrestling, everybody involved knew it was fake.

As I recall, this account was written by rival bar staff. Amateurs. ;-)
