13. Not A Funny Story, But ..

...I'll think you'll lije it. It's a scotch story.
My wife & I were on vacation in Key West and we stopped at a brew pub. Around 1995.
I had one of the home beers, my wife had a tropical drink and we decided to go elsewhere.
She decides to use the ladies' room and I see a bottle next to the register that I don't recognize.
I ask the bartender what it is and she says Glenmorangie 30 year.
I'm on vacation, so what the heck, I'll have one neat.
She pours from the bottle and it's less that 3/4ths of a shot.
She says "Last in the bottle, less than a full shot. This one is free!"
It was magnificent! So smooth it felt as if I was drinking velvet.
I asked her what this would have cost if it had been a whole ounce. She checks and says "40 bucks". Thus was thirty years ago!
I left her a $10 tip.
