Kuwait has less alcohol than Saudi? Strange.

Yeah, but as soon as an airplane leaves Saudi airspace, those Saudi businessmen will pretty much empty out the plane’s booze supply.....and once the plane lands, it’s straight to the nudie bar.

I don’t drink anymore but I put a guesstimate of what I used to drink. It said nobody’s close. Belarusians are mere pikers.

You drink like you’re from Turkmenistan, which is the joint 60th lightest-drinking country in the world.

Nearly all of Kuwait’s inhabitants also abstain - selling or drinking alcohol is illegal in the country. Kuwait is the lightest-drinking country in the world.

Smirnoff has the same flavor, but this one was on sale for $9.99. It's only 70%, whereas Smirnoff is 80% but also $13.99.

They said that about me too, but I do have a bottle of Chaucer's Mead (from Bargetto Winery in Santa Cruz) that I bought in October of 2013 somewhere. I could drink it if I felt like it.

I have been riding for 40 years...did “Rolling Thunder” nine years in a row.

The Lord led me to become the minister of music at a biker Church.

It is a tiny ministry, but we reach some folks who would not be reached otherwise.

God is GOOD! :-)
