in the Himalaya's this year. Why, oh, why, in a country where cattle are considered holy, weren't these fools riding sure-footed climbing cows to the top of the montain?

I stepped up on the platform
The man gave me the news
He said, You must be joking son
Where did you get those shoes?

I've been drinking three fingers of corn liquor along with a couple of raw eggs in a quart jar for breakfast since I was weaned. Homemade corn liquor can't hurt you unless the fellow making it is a fool.

You've got to be careful with homemade fruit liquors. If the fruit is fermented at too high of temperature, distilling it can result in a concentration of higher alcohols that can blind you or put you in your grave.

Homemade apple brandies can have a double punch, cyanide poisoning along with the higher alcohols. Stick with cider and applejack.
