15. I was saving it for when the candidates are going after the Pentecostal vote |
|
Especially if they're speaking in tongues at the same time.

14. Well its not a lunchbox |
|
But I carry glucose tablets when I am out riding, in case my sgl crashes and I always carry a water bottle or two.
But since I often wear something made of spandex... je suis tres elitist.

18. It depends on where you live. |
|
In Detroit, it was once Strohs. These days, I think it's pride. (Molson's seems to help wash the pride down.) In Rochester, NY, in the 70s, it was Genesee Cream Ale (aka "Green Death"). In San Antonio, it was Pearl ... unless you were driving. (Then it was Everclear in anything, even milk.) In the SF Bay Area, I was partial to Anchor Steam.

27. It was in the oldie looking package, and I bought it at a college liquor store |
|
So, given the hipster quotient of my neighborhood, and their endless quest for cool, I'm guessing old.

28. No one, but no one, should drink Night Train |
|
A one way ticked, as I've seen it put, from sober to stupid.
Or, in my case, from sober to wishing for death.
Or, in my friend's case, from sober to sleeping in your own p*ss on a strange bathroom floor.
If you need votes that bad, drop out of the damn race.

34. Sorry for what happened with your friend. |
|
On another note, if we DO win this one, we should have the incoming White House staff check if Dubs left some 'Train empties behind.
Probably in the library, where all the books are hollowed-out.

26. Many blue-collar workers carrying lunch buckets--steelworkers, truck-drivers, coal-miners, etc.-- |
|
also carry those heavy-duty Stanley thermos bottles filled with coffee.

And, of course, when they take their cars in to get fixed, the repair shop always has that pot of joe that's been reheated for three days straight.
Shoulda put black coffee on the list, but I just thought I should focus on the boozing for votes thing.

36. Gasoline and milk? Had a couple of friends try that. |
|
We were on standby for a possible deployment to Laos in '63. The EM club was shut down, couldn't get any booze on the base, even the pharmicists mates wouldn't spring for some GI gin cough syrup.
The idiots in question got some milk from the mess hall, tapped their motorcycle tank, and, voila, a cocktail.
The results were not good.

37. Hopefully you weren't standing either in front of or behind them. |

Also, you're probably lucky nobody decided to smoke right then.

38. They were very busy for a couple of days. |
|
In Taiwan we stole everything portable to trade the local Chinese soldiers for something called "Plum Brandy". It was analyzed by the medical guys and found to contain a large dose of turpentine (maybe, kerosene). Not bad tasting, and certainly did the trick, but left us, literally, unable to speak above a croak, and did wonders for constipation. They raided the tents we were living in and found over 200 bottles of the stuff.
They finally gave up and issued us as much free beer as we could drink.
