It sure beats soccer. <g> When I lived in Montana I had this distributor
down in Butte who, at 60 years old +, would get a bunch of Manhattans
under his belt, on St Patty's day before 10AM. Then he'd walk up to the
street to call out the owner of a competing business to have it out in
the street. They'd fight until they both fell down, then they'd go
arm-in-arm to the nearest tavern to hoist a few more, fellowship with
each other and curse the slow paying customers. Plenty of Irish
descendants of Irish miners there. Great place to live if you can put up
with the 3 seasons; July, August and Winter.
