Yeah...I know. Two weeks ago, I was out with Da Boyz - the same crew I've
known for almost 20 years. I'm 51, and a youngster who's 47 started
whining
about his health, followed by how all supermarket cashiers are idiots. We
took his drink away and told him we'd pants him and toss him in the
parking
lot if he kept it up. He was starting to sound like my 82 old mother in
law.

Heh - my Platoon has a reunion every year - kind of a last man alive
thing. We all put $100 into a kitty, placed under the control of a
lawyer (now a law firm) whose instructions were to make at least 10%
per annum reviewable every five years and the last man alive get's to
spend it with any charity he so desires. There's a French word for
it, but I can't remember what it is.

It's a phrase, not a word: Une boîte du vin.
