LOL!
A great prank would have been to change the label(s) to she if she could make the distinguishment.

I hope he wasn't permanently disabled by it.

Yeah. we try to check up on him from time to time, to see how he's doing. He's a good guy, too. He just didn't have a car and the roads he biked on didn't have legitimate sidewalks.

An acquaintance of mine's son moved his whole family with a little baby to Alaska for a job that lasted 6 months! How about that?!
This state is an "at will" state, which means you can be fired for no reason whatsoever (as long as laws aren't violated) so I feel I have no obligation to provide them notice either.

You know, I think it was actually the opposite situation. She had come up to me and asked if I could tell it was Two Buck Chuck. I don't think it said so on the label, as if to hide the fact, LOL. I think it was the bottle of champagne they had on the table for the toast. Because that's how I found out it was Two Buck Chuck, she came up to me and was wrinkling her nose when she asked if I liked the wine. I wasn't aware there was going to be a taste test.

"Smokey & the Bandit" is the only reason Coors is famous.

I'm not sure about California's policy..... knowing the ultra liberals here they probably have some crazy rules....

The governor here just signed some laws about granting illegal aliens money for college......

But when getting sloshed is the central theme, you want something cheap that goes down easily. I'd feel bad drinking a fine artisanal beer just to get buzzed.
Once I drank 3 Natural Lights at a friend's cookout; the next day I felt like I drank 3 cases. Haven't touched the stuff since.

You haven't drank cheap beer until you've had Lucky Lager, or as we used to say,headache beer.

I like Ron White's idea for aquiring Mexico.
