All the drinks on this trip seemed to be in the $7 range, and I still don't know WTF is up with that!??!
The mini-bottles of alcohol on our flights were $7, and ALPHA, being the kind and generous person he is, paid for mine! Probably the greatest alcoholic drink I've ever had was the 190 Tiger in Greenville, SC, and it was $6.95...but worth every penny!
Other than the $7 shots of Jager, and the $7 beers, I thought the prices were about right.
So what? You only drink ONE anyway. Cheap bastard don't every carry $7 in your wallet? WTF?
So what indeed!
My usual MO is to only drink one, maybe two, while at a Griz home game...I'll give you that one. But, on our recent trip to Greenville/Boone, I stepped many miles out of character!
I was traveling with "The Standard That Others are Measured By in Alcohol Consumption" group. Ask ANY one of those guys if they drank more than me on this trip. I'll give you a hint on their answer...as hard as it is to believe, it didn't happen!
I haven't flown in a long time, so I didn't realize that the only form of payment that's accepted on United flights were credit cards. Before I could get to mine, ALPHA had his at the ready, and paid for what had to be the worst Bloody Mary I've ever had.
You're right again, I wasn't carrying $7 in my "Bad Mother Fucker" wallet, it was closer to $2200. I came home with $18 in said wallet...$7 of which will go to ALPHA, if he would return even one of my phone calls!
Am I cheap? No! Am I a drinker? Well, from the 5th through the 8th of September, I can hang my hat on the fact that I hung with a few of the very best!
