"Get that ballerina a drink!"

So a couple of years ago I went camping up in the San Juan Islands with my good friends Garrett and Chris. It was one of the best vacations I have ever been on and I had an incredibly good time. There's a couple of very funny stories from that trip and I'm gonna share one right here.
We were drinking in a little bar in Friday Harbor, on one of the first nights, for a couple of hours and we were all feeling pretty good. It all started going downhill when some hippie chick, wearing a sleeveless sun dress, walked in. She raised her right arm, revealing a huge, hairy armpit as she pointed to a couple of people sitting at the bar and asked, "What man here will buy a lady a drink?"
Well the place when completely quiet as everybody in the place tried to ignore her. But my buddy Chris was extremely wasted by this point and out of nowhere he slammed his hand down on the counter and yelled, "Get that ballerina a drink!"
The bartender poured the drink and the hippie chick chugged it down with the quickness. She turned to back to my buddy Chris and pointed at him, revealing the same hairy armpit, and once again asked, "Will you buy a lady a drink?"
Once again, Chris slapped his money down on the bar and said, "Give the ballerina another drink!" The bartender gave her another drink and she wandered over to the other side of the bar enjoying her second drink.
Garrett and I weren't really surprised at Chris buying drinks, it was just he kept calling her ballerina. "Hey Chris" Garrett asked "why do you keep calling that hippie a ballerina?"
Without missing a beat Chris replied, "Any woman who can lift her leg that high has got to be a ballerina".....
