funny joke

Another stop along our quest today brings us to a joke that we have seen pop up on the internet several times recently. We felt that it was worth sharing with all of you because #1. it is very funny, #2. it is tasteful, #3. it involves tequila. We get tired of seeing all of the negative press and stories that are run about tequila, so when we find a good quality joke, we need to share it.
Here it is..........
Tequila Makes You Fly

A guy is sitting at a bar in a skyscraper restaurant high above the city.

He's slamming tequila left and right. he grabs one, drinks it, goes over to a window and jumps out.

The guy who was sitting next to him couldn't believe that the guy had just done that. He was even more surprised when only ten minutes later, the same guy who jumped, comes walking back into the bar and sits back down next to him completely unscathed.

The astonished guy asks," How did you do that???? I just saw you jump out that window and we're hundreds of feet above the ground!!!"

The jumper responds by slurring, "Well, I don't get it either. I slam a shot of tequila and when I jump out the window, the tequila makes me slow down right before I hit the ground. Watch." He takes a shot, slams it down, goes to the window and jumps out.

The other guy runs to the window and watches as the guy falls until right before the ground, slows down and lands softly on his feet.

A few minutes later, the guy walks back into the bar.

The other guy has to try it too, so he orders a shot of tequila. he drinks it and goes to the window and jumps. As he reaches the bottom, he doesn't slow down at all….SPLAT!!!!!!

The first guy orders another shot of tequila and the bartender says to him,"

You're really an jerk when you drink, Superman.

Ha! We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did. We are not sure who actually wrote this joke, but we found it through "google alerts" on a blog called "Cheese Says".

cachaça - the next tequila???

Today our quest brings us to Brasil. There is an interesting story on the Business Week website about cachaça (pronounced "ka-sha-sa") being the next tequila of the world. It is Brasil's national drink. A liquor fermented and distilled directly from freshly pressed sugar cane. You might think that cachaça would be more likely to become the next rum of the world, but guess again. Due to the current success of tequila around the globe, the Brazilian's are aiming high and making an honest effort to skip right over rum and compete with tequila.
Cachaça as a finished product is sometimes known as "aguardente" (burning water) or "engasga gato"(cat choker)and varies from 76 proof to 96 proof. Caipirinha is the signature drink for cachaça. It is made of half a lime, quartered, and two teaspoons of granulated sugar muddled together, two ounces of cachaça, a splash of club soda, and ice. The cocktail is extremely refreshing and potent, although it doesn't have quite the kick of tequila.
There are thousands of brands of cachaça made in Brazil by small local distillers on up to regional giants such as Cachaça 51, the country's best-selling brand. In the U.S., however,Pitu, the product of a 75-year-old family business from the northeastern Brazilian state of Pernambuco, is the top seller.
We have had the pleasure of trying cachaça at a local South American style restaurant. If you are in the mood for rum, it is an amazing alternative made in a country of amazing people. However, we can not imagine that it could become the "next tequila". As all of us tequila lovers know, there is nothing in the world that can replace an amazing glass of Don Julio 1942 or any of the three Corzo varieties. It will be fun to watch the cachaça story though. When it comes to beaches, food, dance & music, and football among other things, Brazil is usually able to give the world community a run for its money.
Get a bottle of cachaça and put it to the test.

introducing tequila the cat

This is what really happens when you leave 'Tequila' the cat at home with easy access to your liquor cabinet. He can mix a mean margarita. Don't worry, he doesn't share any with the dog. We can't decide if this is the samllest cat or the largest lime we have ever seen? Next time you are bored and want something to keep yourself and your glass of tequila company, search google images and see what comes up. We found this one there.
Enjoy!
