You can't take it with you

Imagine my dilemma. I’m vacating my apartment in a few days and flying to Brisbane, so I have to get rid of everything. Ev. Ree. Thing. Some things will be sold (for a pittance), some will be given away, some will be donated to the needy. Some, on the other hand, will simply be consumed.

I refer, of course, to the half-bottle of Scotch that I can’t take on the plane with me! Seems there’s some draconian rule that prohibits bringing open bottles of booze on a flight and during the course of an absurdly short flight to tropical Queensland getting blind drunk to the point of belligerence. As a result, I gotta finish that bad boy in the next couple of days.

Bottoms up, everyone!
