Hi Greg. “I’d rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy” - The musician Tom Waits said this line on the August 1, 1977 episode of the television show Fernwood2night. :lol:

God idea, Marshall. My wife's got a bottle of expensive whisky and she's threatening to have a whiskey sour tonight. Perhaps I should join her.
