LOL. Good rant! Especially the part about being sincere, even if you don’t really mean it. I probably couldn’t pull it off, though. I can’t even get away with a simple lie. See what I mean? You knew that was a lie, didn’t you?

One of the first things companies cut back on in tough times is travel and conventions.

You are so right, Alex. But I’ll do what I have to do.

You make a solid point, Wally. Our primate cousins developed a taste for alcohol tens of millions of years ago (give or take a year). Looking back at this “stupid” alcohol delivery gimmick in ten million years from now will certainly provide evolutionary scientists a good laugh one day.
