Are You Experienced?

I bought an extra-tall Kirin Green Label last night at midnight with pocket change. I was wearing my bandana, mesh shorts, and a T-shirt with holes in it. I used no fewer than 11 1-yen pieces, which have 90% of the value of a penny. The 7-11 employee was convinced that I didn't have enough money, so he refused to sell me the beer. I had to count it in front of him and prove that it was, in fact, exactly 211 yen. He apologized for miscounting and dismissively gave me my beer. I then went over to the park near my apartment building and drank it, alone, listening to Jimi Hendrix albums on my iPod.
