Whoooo Weee, Paul! That may be true, but (as Mike found out) there are ALWAYS immature losers that will try to take you down. Thank God that Mike's General Manger is a professional and is willing to listen. It is too bad that the nameless, low-life POS that publically posted Mike's message at his workplace, and the others that did not remove the post, are allowed to remain employed. I would have fired their sorry asses! Oh, and Mike, I hope you've learned a little about human nature and life in and out of the work place.

All Right Paul!

From a retired history teacher to the old Navy man, I say "Damed the torpedos- full speed ahead!" Now you should know the author of that quote, and the circumstances under which it was said.

Jeeze, Leo....Not really. Not in America, with the exception of rum...151 Bacardi, at that!

When I made a trip to North Dakota in July of last year, I went to the local Pub and ordered a double shot of 151. The bartender looked at me in a gaze and asked if I was sure if that was what I wanted.

I said yes. In one schlook, it was gone, and the bartender almost crapped in his drawers. Of course the motel was adjacent to the pub, and when I walked 100 yards to cover only 50 yards of real estate, I finally realized that maybe the double shot was just a little too much since I was out of practice.

Come to find out, North Dakota does not allow 151 straight shots, single or double, without being mixed with something else such as Coke or Pepsi.

Also, the next night I visited the Pub, I was glad know the bartender did not get in hot water for serving me that double shot of 151. I guess I was the only person who asked for something like that, and he was not completely familiar with the North Dakota Booze laws.

Anyhoo, that night I visited the Pub and found out that it was illegal, I opted for a bottle of Budweiser. I didn't want to get the bartender in trouble.

Oh, well.....Such is life.

Paul, you are correct on the quote! Admiral David Glasgow Farragut, at the battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864, while running his flagship Hartford through a mine field between Ft. Gaines and Fort Morgan. Mines were called "torpedoes" in those days.
