For when the wine is in, the wit is out.

Thomas Becon (1512–1567)

Catechism, 375

Here's to the corkscrew -

a useful key to unlock the storehouse of wit,

the treasury of laughter,

the front door of fellowship,

and the gate of pleasant folly.

W.E.P. French

Crisis Averted

Last night one of the handles on my corkscrew broke JUST as I began to pull the cork from the bottle. (Who was that? I heard someone GASP audibly!)

As luck would have it, I remembered the corkscrew that I purchased at Wal-Mart in Texas last month. Cool Breeze and I bought a bottle of wine to take back to the room, and we picked up a corkscrew at the same time. I thoughtlessly packed it in my carry-on bag the next morning, and was treated to a tongue-lashing at the airport because of it. The nice man let me go with a warning. Where was I? Oh, yeah, so I dug the back-up corkscrew out of my bag and finished the job.

Don't you just LOVE happy endings?
