Pardon Me, Is This Seat Taken?

If I am not I, who will be? - Thoreau

people go to bars to get away from themselves

but you're only a fool

if you save your interim self a stool

Probably the only polite line said at the bar. Billy Connolly would tear you to pieces if you said pardon me is this seat taken? He would reply well it’s bloody empty isn’t it. It’s not like the invisible man is sitting on it. Nice write Pete.
