So I go to the liquor store tonight...

[LostInAnomie]

... with a friend and I am in the mood to drink some whiskey. Not being a big whiskey gourmet I usually choose between Jack Daniels, Crown, Makers Mark, or Jim Beam. So I was about to buy a fifth of Jack Daniels for $22 when on my way to the counter I see that I can get a half Gallon of Jim Beam for $23. Immediately I put down the Jack Daniels and buy the Jim Beam.

I thought I made a smart, thrifty move.

Well for the rest of the night I hear from my friend about what a cheap-ass I am.

Does That make me sound cheap?

1. sounds fine to me

since Beam is among the list of usuals for you.

Myself, I've had other whiskeys, but I always come back to Jack. It's not the smoothest of whiskeys, but it's the one I like best.

If I were you, I'd have sent the friend home with no whiskey at all. "Cheap-ass" indeed. What whiskey did he buy?

[LostInAnomie]

2. He just drank mine and bitched.

Eventually I did tell him to STFU or I would cut him off. I could tell he still wanted to bitch though.

3. There ain't nutin' cheap about Jim Beam.

That's some fine Kentucky Bourbon, and you should be proud to drink it.

:toast:

4. Now Wedding Night or Old Fashioned Whiskey...

Those are rot gut.....

But Jim Beam....

And look how thrifty you were.... You could get that much more tanked than you could with the Jack Black...

[Clintmax]

5. Ummm...NO.

You're not cheap! If you can get so much more for only a dollar more, that just makes good sense! Tell your "friend" to STFU! :rofl:

6. You cheap bastid!

You should have bought the Jack or some George Dickall! I live about five miles from The Dickall distillery and about 20 from the Jack facility. I would like to see you support my neighbors!

7. Perhaps your friend could have bought the JD?

Or helped purchase the JB? Who is the cheap-ass?

8. No, cheap would be spending less than 22 -- on say, "Barney's

Val-U-Rama" Whiskey. You actually went up, cash-wise.
