So I go to the liquor store tonight... |
|
... with a friend and I am in the mood to drink some whiskey. Not being a big whiskey gourmet I usually choose between Jack Daniels, Crown, Makers Mark, or Jim Beam. So I was about to buy a fifth of Jack Daniels for $22 when on my way to the counter I see that I can get a half Gallon of Jim Beam for $23. Immediately I put down the Jack Daniels and buy the Jim Beam.
I thought I made a smart, thrifty move.
Well for the rest of the night I hear from my friend about what a cheap-ass I am.
Does That make me sound cheap?

since Beam is among the list of usuals for you.
Myself, I've had other whiskeys, but I always come back to Jack. It's not the smoothest of whiskeys, but it's the one I like best.
If I were you, I'd have sent the friend home with no whiskey at all. "Cheap-ass" indeed. What whiskey did he buy?

2. He just drank mine and bitched. |
|
Eventually I did tell him to STFU or I would cut him off. I could tell he still wanted to bitch though.

That's some fine Kentucky Bourbon, and you should be proud to drink it.

You're not cheap! If you can get so much more for only a dollar more, that just makes good sense! Tell your "friend" to STFU! :rofl:

You should have bought the Jack or some George Dickall! I live about five miles from The Dickall distillery and about 20 from the Jack facility. I would like to see you support my neighbors!

Or helped purchase the JB? Who is the cheap-ass?
