Ummm, Monsieur Ike, how drunk are you by now?? I mean, one would assume that in order to create such spectacular alcoholic creations, one would have to sample each drink made. No? By my guesstimations, at 12 noon, CST, you have downed a couple of cases of beer, some quarts of grenadine, amaretto and gin, a coupla gallons of misc. tonics, bitters, sours, etc. as well as eaten a pound of maraschino cherries and 2 pounds of olives. 😛 * * * “I can never give a ‘yes’ of a ‘no.’ I don’t believe everything in life can be settled by a monosyllable” \*Betty Smith ---
