Karaoke—Japanese for delusional drunken singers

Last night was supposed to be the office triathalon: snooker, darts, and karaoke. It was for team buiding, morale building and a spot of fun.

The pub didn't have a dart board.
The other pub didn't have an open pool table (though they call them billiards tables here).
But the karaoke bar was open.

It was a mad house with a bar full of drunks, a miserable sound system, and a forgetful staff. Nonetheless, it was a blast. All of us sang. And I even got the others to enjoy it.

We chatted up some of the regulars, sang over the really bad ones, which is probably why it was a good idea that they had a lousy sound system.
