Nothing like a good ole' American pre-emptive strike for all the whinging we'll hear about the evil/overbearing/uncivilized United States on Friday.
Thanks, Roger!

A friend emailed this to me and thought it funny.
A recent article in the Dominion Post reported that a woman, has sued Wellington Hospital, saying that after her husband had surgery there, he lost all interest in sex.
A hospital spokesman replied: "Mr. Maynard was admitted for cataract surgery. All we did was correct his eyesight.

I'm reading all the Bond books again. Why? Because I can!
Anyway, for those interested, his Martini is called a "Vesper" and, as he states in Casino Royal:
Bond, James Bond: 'A dry Martini,' he said. 'One. In a deep champagne goblet.'
'Oui, Monsieur.'
'Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large slice of lemon-peel. Got it?'
I have had various Vodka Martinis over the years but tonight I may well try and make it this way.

I suspect you would need to double treble the Gordon's measure but other than that it sounds nice.

one Nagy martini
1/ Drink one bottle of gin
2/ one third bottle of vermouth
3/ jump up and down for 3 seconds

For a perfect Dry Martini it is three parts Gordon's over ice and wave the glass in the general direction of France.

Wasn't it 3 parts gin and wave a vermouth cork over it (courtesy of MASH)

But they made bath tub gin, with a condenser that was too short!
|
|
|
|
|
Suddenly my mind is racing, trying to figure out the side effects of a short condenser.
Lower yield due to the ethanol not having had a chance to cool below 175 (ish)?
Anything else?

I keep asking the bartender to make mine like that and they always look at me funny. My wife wrinkles her nose when I have them like that and asks why I don't just go chew on a juniper tree.
My reply always gets me in trouble.
