Our tax dollars at work - God, I need a drink!

Well, if you run a still, you can make 190-proof grain alcohol...that's pretty deadly.

[Ronin]

I am going to go somewhere and whimper....

This is just too bizarre for words.

[Cacique]

It's possible the whiskey was being exported to Saudi Arabia. Drunk Muslim fundamentalists might be a tad dangerous.

[Destro]

Were you drunk when you thought that one up?

insert smile after last post.

Actually, Scotland is loaded with Muslims. Just go to Glasgow or Edinburgh and you'll see Muslims and Mosques all over the place - so many Muslims it looks like France or England.

[Destro]

I posted a story about Muslims in Scotland not wanting pubs near their mosques just recenlty.

The stuff they make at Islay is pretty good, too!

Do you think I could order a bottle of their Scotch over the web? Then again, I'd probably be put on somebody's watch list. Nevermind.

I dunno, I once ran into some rpetty potent stuff that could've been used as rocket fuel under the right circumstances..
Well.. maybe it WAS rocket fuel.

*chuckle*
What a sad joke, thanks for posting it.

[Travis McGee]

[Winniesboy]

They'er going to sell a lot of whiskey

"I still find it very funny that their chemical processes look very similar to your distilling process. "

This conspiracy theory mentality is why I greatly fear our govt investigative and policing agencies. Imagine if a freeper posted on this site about a Scottish distillery being a chemical weapons plant, they would be laughed off the board.
