Eight Things to Remember about Wild Turkey

1. One can smell it through a closed cup.


2. Unlike Coca Cola (which can render a filthy grill or a gunked-up car battery clean), it overwhelms the cardboard bottom of a paper cup and seeps through.


3. Paper napkins under a leaking cup are quickly sodden with a powerful aroma.


4. One starts to wonder if it will seep into the wood of the desk.


5. One hopes one has strongly scented Pledge wipes available.


6. It makes a sore throat feel better while it’s in the throat.


7. It enables one to feel equipped to go to a bar and continue drinking through the night, despite a sore throat.


8. Wild Turkey can make one write an entirely different blog from that originally intended.
