Went to BevMo Sat night to buy wine for dinner (plus some good Calvados as a treat) and my friend Mike pointed me at a display by the checkout stand – “Look at that!”
“That’s vodka, Mike. I don’t drink vodka.”
“No, dammit, look at it.”
“It’s got gold stuff in the bottom. So what? I don’t drink vodka with or without gold stuff.”
He picked up a bottle and held it to my face.
I bought it. I’ll go back and buy some more…
…and then I noticed this:
IRISH vodka? Somewhere a leprechaun is crying himself to sleep…
Why? Vodka’s often made from potatoes, right?
I figure the leprechaun is muttering, “Finally, they _finally_ got it right.”
And there was I thinking leprechauns hide their gold under the rainbow….
Does the gold leaf improve the flavour, or is that just blarney?

Way OT: how about a shout-out to Debra Bowen and her voting-machine Red Team?
Linky, AJL?
And I’m sticking to the Guinness and my single malts, thank you very much.
Andrew, can’t talk about that just now; will explain later.
