Prohibition

[Story]

When Bryan Fite decided last year to invest some sweat equity in a new central air-conditioning and heating system for his St. Joseph, Mo., home, he had no idea he would reap a possible treasure in liquid gold.

The whiskey was distilled between 1912 and 1913 and bottled in 1917, according to the Daily Mail. The stash included four bottles of Hellman's Celebrated Old Crow whiskey and a few bottles of Guckenheimer, a Pennsylvania rye whiskey, and W. H. McBrayer's Cedar Brook whiskey.

I spend my work day doing nothing but working on books, and I briefly, very briefly, thought I could sneak that nippy bottle book into work.
But I like my job a lot- so I don't think I'll tempt fate like that!

Well no ... but hey, those 1920s flappers had the right idea after all!

Subject aside I'm amazed at the Google translation; just for a goof I had Google do a German translation and...well...it never ever failed to crack me up. Never. [huh]

 

[Giftmacher]

Me too! Reverse translation is often much worse though.
