A Ukrainian company called Kind Fairy offers an interesting service, for a fee they will provide you with a professional drinking buddy. Now, you may well be thinking that the idea sounds stupid, childish even – but these are sophisticated drinking buddies that are there to provide entertainment and stimulating conversation (not hobos that they pay off with wine).
Virtually all of our people are talented. They can play guitar, sing or recite poetry. Today you may want to talk about art and tomorrow to read Faust.
A spokesperson for the company said that they do not encourage binge drinking and that a number of its professional drinking buddies are psychologists – so you can get analyzed as you drown your sorrows.
Anyway, my drinking buddies had better lift their game, in the old days they used to play guitar and exhibit their talents – not anymore. If Kind Fairy finds its way over to Japan then they might suddenly find themselves surplus to requirements – know what I mean? [Spiegel via Neatorama; Image]
