Unrelated: Last night I wandered into some random crappy corner liquor store, and spied two bottles of the old-style Ron Zacapa 23, the kind with the wicker completely covering the bottle, not just the one wicker band like they use now. They were on a shelf behind the counter. I asked how much they were, and the wasted guy at the counter said $14.99. Naturally, I bought them both and asked if they had more (they didn't). When I got outside I noticed they were tagged $41.99. The dope had read the prices wrong. Always pays to shop at booze stores where the employees are wasted. You, sir, are my new hero!!
