The things I do for my job

#1 Post by christie1111 » Thu Feb 19, 2009 8:14 pm

We had to imbibe in alcoholic beverages in a meeting this morning.

An infused vodka, a black and tan and a gin and tonic along with a few other non-alcoholic drinks.

Tough job I know.

:D

You can have my share of the gin. I think it tastes like fingernail polish remover smells.

Another thing about which Sprots and I agree. I wouldn't have described the flavor that way, though. To me, it tastes like I imagine pine needles would taste.

No, it's Greek Retsina wine that tastes like pine needles. Ugh!

Having had both gin and pine needles (or at least pine needle tea) I can say from personal experience that they did not taste the same.

Juniper needle tea perhaps would be similar since it is the same basic source but I haven't had that.

HAD to?

Really?

I'm assuming someone who doesn't drink wouldn't have had to. Maybe they just wouldn't have been allowed in the shower after the meeting... :P

Do you have to sample the Fabuloso or Suavitel?

When you're really drunk on that stuff, you don't notice how bad it tastes. Not like I'd know....
