In a bizarre twist, however, the patrons still referred to bourbon as "burgon" for months afterwards just to keep the joke going. After a while, nobody broke into laughter, but that didn't stop them. People kept asking for "burgon" and the bartender gave them bourbon.
New patrons were puzzled, but when they saw the long-time patrons calling it "burgon" they did so as well, thinking it was some kind of code or odd tradition.
If the poor kid had walked in there a year later and asked for "burgon", he would have been given bourbon without anyone laughing.
