I'll leave the "Cosmopolitan" story to you. :-)

Ahahahahaha! Well, I only know the front end of it - and I suppose it's one of
those "you had to be there" little stories, but....

So we're sitting at the bar in the Altmar Hotel (which is not a hotel, fwiw)
and a few seats away is the prototypical Buffy - the spitting image of Ali
MacGraw in "Love Story", with the perfect hair-do, fresh manicure, and
sporting the classic sweater look, right there in the midst of a bunch of
thoroughly unrefined appearing fishermen, in about as rude looking a bar
you'll find away from Skid Row (and with a particularly grim beer list, btw).

When she finally gains the attention of the swarthy female behind the bar,
Buffy says "I'll have a Cosmopolitan".

Conversations in the immediate vicinity came to an abrupt halt, and as I
waited for all hell to break loose, the barkeep lets out a snort, turns to
Buffy, and retorts "Not here you won't".

I forgot what she ended up drinking - Joe might remember, I think it was some
kind of flavored vodka with something, all I remember was it sounded
nauseating.
