What a fun finish to a fun piece, John! I also enjoyed learning about the origins of the metaphor “a canary in the coal mine”. Love reading things like that.

Great finish John. This made me laugh. Read the whole thing out loud to my wife.

Thanks, Rick. I was quite bewildered. Perhaps a kind person just wanted to make sure I didn't waste good whisky by using it as cologne.
