<human>: Technically this happened Thursday night, but me and buddy have been laughing about how well this worked out. It's definitely a TIFU, but I feel I fixed it pretty well.

My buddy and I went to a sushi place with these two girls, and my buddy's trying to date one, and the other I'm relatively neutral on (she's nice, but I'm not too keen either way currently). It was more or less an impromptu pseudo-double date.

So we're waiting on the waitress to come get our tabs as we've made our payments ready. And after 10 minutes the girls were tired of waiting, and I was out of jokes about the matter.

After another "this is ridiculous", I said I'd go find the POS; If Nelly can do swipe a credit card, so can I.

My mind realized what I'd let slip. I'd inadvertently referenced Nelly's "Tip Drill" video, where he swiped a credit card down a chick's buttcrack, and I'd just ruined everything.

My buddy looked at me with piercing "why, why, why" eyes as one girl said what.

I quickly explained the following

"A few years ago, Nelly and his entourage were at some store, and they'd gotten a few thousand dollars worth of stuff to purchase. At that store, a manager has to be present to verify the purchase. After waiting for a while (maybe 15 minutes), Nelly got tired of waiting, so he and his entourage, scanned and bagged their items, and Nelly swiped his card."

Ending with if a rapper can do it, so can I. The girls laughed, my buddy relaxed and I rested easy, adding politician to my possible job list as backup #4.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Accidentally referenced a controversial rap music video moment while on a quasi-double date with two girls and my buddy, and made up an elegant story to avert crisis.
