Enjoying a Jade tonight.

Rum, créme de menthe, Cointreau, and simple syrup. Yummy! The green tint makes it look like a bottle of Hi-Karate aftershave. Anyone remember that?

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

He wanted to join the United States Marine Corps during World War II but was too young to join without parental or legal guardian consent. He bribed a drunk with half a pint of whiskey to sign as his legal guardian. From October 1942 to October 1945, Buchwald served with the Marines as part of the 4th Marine Aircraft Wing. He spent two years in the Pacific Theater and was discharged from the service as a sergeant. He said of his time in the Marines, "In the Marines, they don't have much use for humorists, they beat my brains in."[3]
