Ah, Bonny John, I’m fooled by lots of things lots of times.

However, if you have a specific objection to any of the caveats listed, I’d love to hear them. And the argument for allowing beer to servicemen is particularly strong, is it not?

I do blush over the 95% “joke”; I feel shame. It is so bad and hackneyed, in fact, that it even makes your joke about a death penalty for drunk driving seem droll.

I’ll try to be funnier next time.
