Favorite Whiskey Quotes

[Bennett]

I've seen some good quotes on some people's signatures... I'm wondering what other whiskey quotes, lyrics or slogans make you smile.

Best,

It's not a quote, but anyone who has seen the Cougar Bourbon television add that was aired in Australia about 12 months ago will definately understand the quote "5 Cougars thanks!"

[camduncan]

If anyone was wondering what I meant by "5 cougars thanks" - it was an add campaign that was run on Australian television last year. It showed a group of 5 people at a table in a bar who get one of the guys to order some drinks. He stands in line going over the order to himself and notices everyone in front is ordering 5 cougars and looking puzzled as they leave the bar with their drinks. He gets to the front of the line, sees the barmaids singlet top and orders 5 cougars thanks.....
(ok, so it was funier seeing it acted out than it reads above...)

Thanks for the explanation Cam, but I'd think the commercial would be funnier if the person buying for five only brought TWO COUGARS back each time....but then that's American Redneck humor. Thank goodness you're supposed to be 21 to get into this site or I'd be plumb embarrassed for saying that.

Cam, would you happen to know if this ad is available for download somewhere? The only site I found charged you for downloading it (No thanks!).

As Chairman (and the only member) of the Cougar Appreciation Society of Scandinivia I, of course, have a natural interest in watching it.

I've tried to find this add online a few times now with no luck. I even tried asking frineds & family if they could remember having a video tape of a program that had the add in it, but again no luck

"If the ocean was whisky and I was a duck,
I'd dive to the bottom to get one sweet suck.
But the ocean ain't whisky and l ain't a duck,
so we'll round up the cattle and then we'll get drunk."

(With a lot of hiccups in between.) From "Rye whiskey" by Tex Ritter.

Really,to appreciate it fully it has to be heard. It´s as much a performance as it is a song.
