I started reading, thinking WTF! then saw the poster name..

I've got a reputation, don't I?

We actually got beer and hard liqueur in South Yemen. 4 cases and 4 liters per month. It was part of our compensation. Selling it was a firing offence, immediate, that is the next plane, which might be next week.

Suppose someone is an alcoholic? Do they force them to drink?

60 miles from the nearest paved road, probably 100 miles to the nearest flush toilet (besides ours), 3,500 hundred ugly construction guys an no women.

Aw hell, I know where Barack's headed after the election!

One jack@ss hated beer and was mad he couldn’t sell it.

He built a throne in room out of full cases. He wouldn’t give it to anyone, but said they could have it after he left and had farted on it for a year.

I drank more on that 14 month job than I did in 5 1/3 years of college.

Only place I’ve been where we would open a new bottle of scotch, crumple the cap and throw it away, knowing we were never putting the lid back on.

I wanted to add, when I was there, they were still doing public executions by beheading with a sword. I guess they have gotten all modern now, but still public.

At least they built a nice basin to soak up the blood.
