    8 weeks of Laphroaig

    I have just ordered a new Stewart old Modern (now there is a contradiction of terms) from Rocky and have been told that it will be about 8 weeks before I actually see the finished product.

    Is there enough Laphroaig in San Francisco to see me thru the Jonesing?
    Does the rabble think if I offered Rocky an additional 25 cents he would lessen the wait time? I am really getting too old for this.

    Lets see...8 bottles of Laphroaig x $45 (best price here in New Mexico)=$360.
    Hmmm, if you paid Rocky half of that you might get it in half the time...
    But, then you would only enjoy half as much Laphroaig...
    But if Rocky really took his time and you had to wait 12 weeks, you could drink 12 bottles....

    So, do I understand this correctly. You are only going to drink Laphroaig, while actually waiting for a kilt.

    Do you have to actually place the order, or does being on your wish list count as waiting?

    All this thinking is hard work - I am going for an Ardbeg.

    Regards
