Received a package of bottle stoppers from Ben this afternoon. Cheapskate. Just stoppers, no bottles. If you're looking for a unique gift for that hard to please relative, or just want something unique for your own collection, may I suggest you drop him a line.

 

 

Actually he sent me four of them. I put the fourth one on a bottle of my own white lightening I cook up. It ate it. Tnx Ben. Love 'em.  :thumbsup:

... Cheapskate. Just stoppers, no bottles....

 

Sorry, Jim. I had the package all wrapped up and to the post office. Went right up to the counter with this big ol' box... they weighted it... and I was asked the usual interrogation of what's in the box. Apparently you can't send any liquids through the mail... much less any liquids with the alcoholic persuasion.

 

Post office lady- "Any fragile, liquid, perishable, potentially hazardous, flamable?"  :no:

Me- "No! No liquids at all, ma'am!"  :idea:

Post office lady- *while moving the box* "Okay... that'll be..."  :hmm:

Big ol' box- "CLANK! CRASH!"

Post office lady- "Sir, your package appears to be leaking and sticky."  :smart:

Me- "Uh..."  :oops:

Post office lady-  :rolleyes:

Me-  :???:

Post office lady-  :brows:

Me-  :huh???:

Post office lady-  :crossfingers:

Me- "Sorry, ma'am... the wife is waiting out in the car."  :help:

Post office lady- "Uh... no, sir. The package to be sent..."  :shake:

Me- "Oh! What a relief!"  :banana:

 

Things got a little carried away. Sure glad we got that story straightened out!

I am confused as to why you would need to put a lid back on a bottle  :hmm:

I first read this two hours ago. For the life of me, I can't come up with a smart @$$ answer. :doh:

 

I'd say for those who might find another passed out with bottle in hand... wouldn't want anything to evaporate or spill anyhow.  :dunno:

I can only drink so many straight shots of Barcardi 151 at a time.

 

I like the gear stopping. Looks easy and slightly painful to remove!
