Apropos the recent booze convos.

Smart, kind & generous solution on the bar’s side.

Fingers crossed that the recipient can still see straight enough to read the card!

Not to get in to it on a Funnies page, but there’s been a VERY long convo on a food group I’m in after the same pic was posted. I’d say that the bar would also need to ensure the patron got home safely. In many states (including Massachusetts) both the bartender and the establishment can be sued if it was proved that someone was overserved and the patron ended up drunk driving and injured/killed someone.

Yeah, same in PA. Having grown up in Germany, where (at least AFAIK) no such responsibility on the bar’s end exists — at least legally speaking, I am fascinated by how booze laws vary from state to state… from the ridiculous to the insane (e.g. entirely blue counties or, at the other end of the spectrum, drive-thru beer stores).

I will neither admit nor deny that I’ve asked a long being for assistance. :wink:

It’s either that or start climbing the shelves (which I have also done).

Apropos measurements :skull:

To be fair, before I scrolled down I thought the tomato mnemonic device wasn’t half bad!

TBH I always thought a nautical mile was 6000 feet.

I knew about 3 barleycorns being an inch and a yard being the distance between Henry I’s nose and the thumb of his arm-stretched -to-the-side thumb tip. (I use that when estimating yards of yarn for casting on stitches; it works fine - as long as you know how many stitches of your particular yarn make up an inch :joy:).

I’ve now lived in this country for near a quarter century, and I remain oblivious to most US measurements. I find them pointless and confusing. Thankfully, none of my professions require me to know my way around them :sweat_smile:

I’m perfectly at home with metric, but having concentrated in Middle English when in college, I kinda enjoy the old and arcane. I was disappointed when the British Pound went metric. I was probably the only one, of course.

I have a Salter kitchen scale that uses brass weights. I have both grams and ozs. Scale doesn’t care.

LOL. I’ve never even been near MIT … a gap in my education.

Did you hear about the man who walking down the street and was hit by a violin flying through the air? After that he got hit by a clarinet, and finally he got hit by a French horn.

It was an orchestrated attack.
