ReplyDeleteGood point, Buck. Your statement just brought back memories of drinking with Brits and Aussies in Hong Kong. Decidedly a losing battle.
ReplyDeleteBigger Beer! It reminds me of getting those large bottles of beer and putting them in a brown paper bag so that no one knew you were drinking beer - as if the brown bag really hid anything.

ReplyDeleteLou: Heh. Those bags never fooled anyone!
