Happened back in June and cost them over a $1 million.

“Tests showed no evidence of alcohol in the River Ayr, no visible impact on wildlife and minimal traces of alcohol on the river banks,” said a company spokesman.

Except for all the animals and fish slurring their growls, being loud and obnoxious, and not being able to crawl/swim in straight lines.

There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

Huh.  I thought so... it's happened before (2013):

Maybe the supervisors should have to issue specific dedicated valve handles to the workers. Green ones for bottling plant, red ones for dumping to the sewer lines.

Apparently that one was a manual error, so they couldn't blame it on Russian hackers getting into the control software.  =D


Edited for grammar.

The worst that could happen would be a bunch of drunk sheep.  Maybe a cow or two.   [tinfoil]

:rofl: Agreed, and I don't even drink, although I used to partake of a dot of Drambuie after a nice dinner out.  And a cigar, too.

(Those were the days you could still smoke in restaurants.  Before all the do-gooders rose to their present ascendancy and began all their joy-crushing do-goodery.)
