C'mon McDave, You are the first guy I know who wants to combine drinking and being quiet.
1. The more you drink the quieter you get.
2. Drinking alone is so much quieter.
3. No humor allowed when drinking.
You need to reread the rules of drinking. Ain't nothing in there about being quiet. I know, I've been drinking a long time. I ain't hardly ever been quiet with a glass or can in my hand. Fact is, I just returned home from 'Choir Practice' which is what 4 buddies and I called it when we meet most every Saturday afternoon to sooth our vocal cords with Bud Lite and laughing at a local watering hole. If'n you ever get a hankerin' to visit SW Michigan, yer WELCOME to stop by and join the choir. Carrying a tune is not a requirement.
