The Bartender's Sixth Sense
"Diplomatic, polyglot, like skilled ambassadors... Discreet and reserved. They have a good feel for psychology, and a deep understanding of human nature. They are father confessors, competent advisors on a multitude of complex and delicate issues. They are stoics, capable of enduring with unlimited comprehension and courtesy, all the incoherence of the mad world that sometimes condenses in a bar. They have the elegance of a symphony conductor, the precision and calm of a surgeon ready to operate. They are the chemists of today, the botanists of the eighteenth century, the alchemists of the middle ages, capable of willing the creation of cool, shining gold. They are experts in the topics of sport and international politics, but they never give in to passionate discourse. They are philosophers, and when need be, telepaths... And to top it all off, they need the memory of an elephant."
Fernando Campoamor "El Sexto Sentido del Barman"
