Story time again

in The Clubhouse
Been awhile, but the wife reminded me of this the other day so I thought I'd share.

As you know, I'm more so a wine guy....gave up the hard stuff long ago. The wife is more so a wine person too but on occasion likes a mixed drink....especially when we are out of wine. So as it happens, we are out of wine and her usual drink is Vodka and cranberry juice. Which I usually keep the vodka in a downstairs extra fridge. Rarely though we have both in house. Either I have the vodka and no cranberry juice, or no vodka and a ton of cranberry juice.

So we have no wine....wife comes up to me with a mixed drink in hand.

Me..."Whats that ? "

Wife..."Vodka/cranberry...why ? "

Me..." Where did you get the Cranberry ?"

Wife..."Downstairs fridge"

Me...." We don't have any in the fridge"

Wife...."Yeah we do, in the small bottle".

Me....." Drink taste good ?"

Wife..."Absolutely.....why? "

Me...."Because your drinking Vodka and Hummingbird food".

....as she spits it out.

    That 1s funny there! I made sure to label my jug of Distilled water as Record Cleaning Solution as it has VPI cleaner inside of it, you can not tell it unless you shake it and it foams a little.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....
