Is Jack Daniel's Drying Up?

Cliff is a fine man.

I have no reason to think otherwise.

What I said about him and China was said in a joking manner. It wasn’t meant to be taken seriously. I was just poking fun at him thinking he would do the same back.

I understand, because of the nature of forum postings, that words can easily be misread since you can’t see the expressions on a persons face or hear the tone in ones voice.

This cracks me up. What a joke. I know I can come across as quite abrasive also. This is usually due to the fact that I have a great sense of New England sarcasm that has been bred in to my very soul. Believe me, my girlfriend, who is from Ohio has a heck of a time dealing with it. Half the time I'm goofing off but it can come across the wrong way sometimes, especially when it's the written word with no facial expressions or body language to go by.

At the shop where I work I am constantly joking and fooling around but without the body language it would be quite easy to take things the wrong way. I'm reminded about the post I responded to about someone talking about people excercising their second amendment rights in their back yards in Kentucky or Tennessee. I made fun of it and quickly reasized that by just reading the written word it could quite easily be taken the wrong way.

But, mother of God, this guy was way over the top. It's like he was full of the internet beer muscles or something.

OK everybody, you can breathe a sigh of relief, JD is not going to run out of water from cave spring or whiskey for that matter. They even sent me a reassuring email about it. I would be much more worried that they run out of charcoal to make Gentlemans Jack. Now that might be a real problem!
