LOL! Friday is in my pocket and about ready to JUMP out!! :)
I prefer “Vivat Bacchus! Bacchus lebe!” from Mozart’s Die Entfuhrung Aus Dem Serail.
There’s a Tear in my beer- Hank Williams Jr&Sr.
Bubbles in my beer- Bob Wills
Drinking stories? I served 20 years in the Navy, I have drinking stories!!!
One of my favorites I remember (or don’t remember) happened on my first Med cruise on the USS Nimitz.
In the pearl of the Mediterranean, Naples Italy. (little sarcasm there) Isn’t it wonderful that the Navy takes you to all these wonderful places and dumps you off in the worst part of town?
I went ashore about 1000. I had the sniffles, figured I was coming down with a cold. Due to that, I had decided to kill the cold with screwdrivers. You know, vodka and orange juice. Alcohol and vitamin C. That should fix me up. So I started drinking screwdrivers, going from one bar to another. Having a good time messing with the “buy me drink” girls that my DivO warned us about.
Around 1900 I ended up in the San Francisco Bar. Told the bartender what I was drinking and he asked me if I wanted to try a different vodka. The only thing I could read on the bottle was “Vodka” and “Product of U.S.S.R.” I’m already feeling “ten feet tall and bulletproof” so I agree. After (I think) 3 or 4 drinks I realized that I better head back to the ship while I still could.
Now realize that aircraft carriers do not pull into Naples, they anchor out and we had to ride boats to and from shore.
So I walked out of the San Francisco Bar, turned toward Fleet Landing (where the boats came in) took two steps and........
Woke up in my bunk on the ship the next morning. Stripped to my skivvies and my clothes stowed in my locker, as if I had come back sober. 30 years later and I still have no idea what happened. And I’ve never drank Russian vodka again.
Thanks Kathy!
