"I was in a bar the other night, hopping from barstool to barstool, trying to get lucky, but there wasn't any gum under any of them"

About this Quote
This quote by Emo Philips is a funny take on the concept of trying to find luck in a bar. The speaker is describing their experience of hopping from barstool to barstool, suggesting that they were searching for something, however not discovering it. The phrase "attempting to get fortunate" suggests that the speaker was searching for a romantic connection, however the expression "there wasn't any gum under any of them" indicates that they were unsuccessful. This expression is likely a metaphor for the lack of luck they experienced, as gum is often related to luck. The speaker's humorous take on their experience recommends that they were not too dissatisfied by their absence of luck, and instead found humor in the circumstance.
