A great philosopher once said, “There is a lot of wisdom in a bottle of whiskey.” (It was either Confucius or Jimmy Buffett, we can’t remember which one.) There’s truth to that adage. We’ve shared more knowledge after some Johnny Walker than we have after finishing any book (albeit slurred knowledge). If you want the appearance of a learned man while you puff on your pipe and relax in your robe, then get yourself a Bender Book. Hidden inside the cover of a book on Law, Finance, Piloting or some other topic is a glass flask ready for something to imbibe. Just be prepared to explain your drinking habit next time someone needs to look something up in your “dictionary.”
