Mike: What are you going to order?
Alison: The California Roll up, but 89 the jack!
Mike: What??? (Laughing...) I think you mean 86 the jack?
Alison: Right...86 the jack!
Did you know "86" is a reference to article 86 of the New York state liquor code which defines the circumstances in which a bar patron could be refused service or thrown out – i.e. "86ed.” Eighty miles out and six feet under also refers to when a person who is to be killed by the mafia is forced to dig his own grave many miles away from civilization.
