Speaking of drambuie...I recently talked to a guy (and believe me, he would know) who watched Vic down an entire bottle of drambuie in an hour...if I did that, I would be "whistling carrots".
I have no problem believing that. He would get hammered at Rome City all the time. And he'd smoke in everyone's face. He was the only one who was allowed to smoke in doors. He couldn't even control himself for a few minutes. I always thought that was a terrible hipocracy. I asked my mother why he was allowed to smoke.
That little china coffee cup that he kept at his desk when teaching corps night or advanced class or the like was, often as not, filled with Drambuie. I know. And wer'e talking morning class.
There was a mini-MOG in Minnesota that used that line.
We were at a class, eating together at lunch. After most of us were finished eating, some of the smokers noticed Rev. Wannabe lighting up, so they did as well.
We were roundly reproved for smoking. No ashtrays provided means "no smoking", he said. To forestall the question of why HE was smoking, he told us that he was the man of God teaching the class and should be allowed certain priveleges.
ugh. That's so ridiculous it makes you wonder how far up the moon our heads were. Imagine the pope, or a rabbi or a jehova's Witness pulling that crap. It just sucks the legitemacy right out of TWI. Yet there we were, pretending to feel blessed.
