Ray's Jalop Joint is one of those downtown watering holes that appeal mostly to guys - it's located between a brake shop and a tattoo parlor, it's slightly grungy, there's car pictures everywhere, smoke fills the air, laughter is loud and raucous, and the talk frequently descends into locker-room territory. Women are certainly welcomed there, but there's an unwritten understanding that the Jalop Joint is generally a guy thing.

One day, some of the regulars had a couple too many and decided to roust up the Jezebel Tea-Room a few blocks away. Some indecorous insults were made, tempers flared, the bouncers were called, and the interlopers were tossed into the street to a chorus of angry shouts. Needless to say, it'll be a while before these folks are allowed back.

Having had their fun (paid for with some bruises and peeled stars), our intrepid Jalopers headed back towards Ray's for a nightcap. They did not expect to see the same bouncers from Jezebel standing in front of the Joint door. The bouncers barred their way and told them not to come back. Meanwhile, the Jalop regulars inside noticed that things were a little less lively, a little more subdued - some life and wit were missing, and it wasn't quite as much fun now. The banned folks never tore up the Joint, so even though they misbehaved somewhere else, why can't they come back in?

@tonyola: They don't run a damn tea room. Maybe a knitting circle. Reply
