Told this story in [a cocktails thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/unusual-cocktails-you-like/841986/72), but I’m still chuckling about it, so I’ll share it with my fellow mini-ranters as well.

In a total tangent, a friend got a hand-tailored suit, and the (Japanese? Not sure what accent the storyteller was doing) tailor asked him what name he’d like embroidered on the inside pocket.

Poor old tailor had a to wait while his customer thought through fake names, pithy sayings, movie quotes… Finally the friend gave up and said _"Fuck it. Whisky Neat._ Let’s go with that, it’s what I usually drink."

The tailor was glad to be able to get to work on the suit, and when it was done… I think anyone here already knows what was tastefully stitched inside his suit.
