Don't care one bit for martinis (and maybe they're not a big thing on the Left Coast), but... please elaborate?
On a Saturday morning with a dirty glass...one would first rake the yard of leaves and do other outside work. Meanwhile, chilling in the refrigerator, is a conglomeration of variously expensive libations awaiting the time of day in which they would be mixed together...
Martinis are OK (I drink vodka martinis, not gin). But I prefer a good vodka on the rocks. Who needs the Vermouth??
Perhaps a reference to Jimmy Carter's war on business expenses?
Carter was "against three martini lunches" for sumpin' or another. Maybe being a baptist? More likely an attempted
diversion from the malaise he was inflicting on the country.
And the Iran Hostage problem he created too.
