Proverbial sea of whiskey, sad.

Man drowns himself in a vat of whisky at world famous Scottish distillery

He got out three times to go to the men's room.

[US Navy Vet]

WOW, WHAT a way to go!

[cripplecreek]

I say the distillery should honor him with a special blend named after him.

No need to embalm is already pickled.

[Vendome]

Tragedy?

I don’t see it that way. /s

[edpc]

Well, he was 46, so I guess they can charge a premium for aged whiskey.

[RinaseaofDs]

Imagine inhaling scotch into your lungs?

Ow.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

I hope he took a shower first!

[Chickensoup]

A waitress at The Commercial Hotel in Dufftown said Mr Ettles had been in the bar over the festive period.

Geez, I heard this joke 55 years ago. Might have some truth in it. I’m leaving for the Yeungling tour.

[Tax-chick]

Scotland ping!

[bkepley]

Rule is you’re supposed to swim to the bottom, drink yourself back up in this situation.

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

Very sad.

I’ve been to that very distillery. Even had a wee dram at the end of the tour.

Glenfiddich is top-shelf. Regardless, have always found the taste of scotch to be akin to a burnt fence post.

You made my day ! Gonna have to steal it.

[count-your-change]

The body was put through a wringer as the distillery director said no one is allowed more than a wee nip without paying.

[KC Burke]

Truely life imitating art.

The set up for that punchline you quote was the exchange between the widow and the plant manager that called her. The version I heard was:

Widow: Well at least he went quickly with only a few minutes to drown, I imagine.

Plant Manager: Well dear, that isn’t entirely the case as it took an hour and half — he got out three times to pee.

[fireforeffect]

The real tragedy is that they are going to have to throw out that batch.

What a waste.
