Interesting. It makes sense though.

Souvette hates it when we take the empties back to IGA (beer bottles, sundry cans and plastic bottles) and makes me do it while she starts shopping. By the time I'm finished, she's almost finished. The pool fund is building nicely.

Working in the "industry" I get through a lot of wine - in a town like this you feel hugely conspicuous going into the Beer Store with 36 wine bottles at a time.
You can just hear the local hicks:
"Lookee here boys - Looks like we got ourselves a wine drinker...[spits on floor]"

Good job I can balance that out with the 48 beer bottles and 20 cans on the same visit.

Hey - I'm just trying to fit in...

I take my imported beer cans and wine bottles to the Beer Store in a New Beetle. Sometimes I let the poodle cross ride in the back.

Yes, I have a gun.
