What if they stop making Scotch???

I know it sounds ridiculous but it's given me direction. The thought I mean that war, or government intervention might all of a sudden make good scotch very expensive or very hard to come by. I loaded this thought into my head and went to the local cut rate, has everything liquour store and felt no guilt whatsoever as I bought bottle after bottle of fine booze. I brought it home, when no one was around of course, and stockpiled it. I figure I have enough to last a lifetime. What I don't have in depth I make up for in breath.

When I look over all my bottles of the singles in their tubes and boxes and my few blends in their 750ml or 1.75 bottles I really feel wealthy. Sometimes I want to just stay home and be near the stash. Sometimes I feel like sharing my secret but I don't except for here because you guys don't really know me anyway.

It's like looking into a pirates treasure room, only I can sip this treasure and exact a transformation that washes away the concern about energy, war and inflation. It's a fine art I can afford and hoard. It's something I can enjoy with my clothes on........ and then again without. It's something I can enjoy in spite of getting lower grades in school than George Dobrick or in spite of the fact that Linda Lew said no and then went on to catch the crabs from some drug dealer.

Screw em' all. I got my stash and adding to all the time.

Hurrah for you, Jimmy Smith! and for me. And while my "collection" includes only about 7 bottles at a time, it always includes the Balvenie Doublewood, which I find is a "dram from heaven". (Interestingly, I have two clients, both named Jimmy Smith, but you don't talk like either of them.)

So, then, you got me thinking. At my stage in life I can afford to go to the store and buy any one I want, and frequently do. But selection's not quite as good as on the Royal Mile in Edinboro toun. What happens when I get too old to take my annual trip to the highlands? And what to do with the money I won't spend with Delta airlines (drinking GlenMorangie which they serve on board) and in touring Scotland? Then, I'll have the best collection money can buy here in the South.

'Jim Smith' happens to be the most common man's name in America. There is even a club, open only to -- you guessed it -- guys named Jim Smith.

cheers,

Sorry, but you remind me of the Monty Python sketch, 'the vicar and his sherry'. When the obsessive dipsomaniac worries about his supply being interrupted, the salesman reassures him: 'You're one of our best customers, vicar. You and the United States'.
