Ok, so I'm a brat.  I know good Scotch, though, don't I?  That's got to
count for somethin'.  Besides, don't you guys have a Ministry of Spirits or

(High School acquaintance of mine got caught selling "radiator fluid" to the
natives north of Little Current and darn near got "life" himself.  O.P.P.
looked the other way.  RCMP didn't.  Ouch!)  ;>)
