Why is there always no rum? ---

I’m cool as long as they don’t run out of gin. ---

Why is the rum always gone? _room tips on its side_ Oh. That’s why. ---

I’m pretty sure there’s bottles of rum at my place. Probably 'cause you’re not here. 😛 Thanks to a warm summer evening and wireless, I’ve been kicking back outside drinking Sobe + Vodka and… uh… (hold on, it’s 11:30 and dark out now) Watermelon flavoured Smirnoff? If I keep the mp3s on the laptop down, I think there’s just time for another round. 😃 ---

I got to great lengths to ensure I never run out of rum. Sometimes, despite all my work, some alcoholic drinks it all anyway. Don’t blame me though. I was just a little thirsty. ---

It must be at my house. I have 2 bottles of Appleton’s, 1 bottle of mango rum, and 1 bottle of Jamaican Cream rum. That and a selection of vodka, rye, many different liqueurs, half dozen or so types of Scotch, and some beer and wine to keep me honest. ---

I find it’s my god-given responsibility to mention the Seahorse at any possible Rum related conversation. > **[Sailor Jerry Spiced Rum - Original Tattoos & Caribbean Rum - Sailor Jerry](https://sailorjerry.com/en/)** > > The original Sailor Jerry spiced rum is blended with the finest rums from the Caribbean & our recipe of natural spices. Visit Sailor Jerry to learn more. It’s cheap AND inexpensive! It’s also the crack cocaine of Rums. The first 1.75 I bought went down about 1.5 inches a night til I realized I really shouldn’t be drinking that much alone. Then I invited friends. Told them to bring their own bottle. ---

I work down the hall from a bar (in a hotel). They have rum. But I’m not allowed to have any while I’m there, which is invariably when I’d really want it. ---
