The other day when I was waiting to checkout at Best Buys, some guy in line behind me started asking about vodka. It seems that his son just turned 21 so he wanted to buy him a nice bottle of vodka.

He stated that he quit drinking many years ago so he was not familiar with the brands of vodka. I told him that Absolute and Grey Goose were quite popular.

I had to ask myself “Why vodka and not whiskey?” Why did he want his son to drink when he himself had quit? All and all, I found the whole conversation to be rather strange.
