From the looks of those ladies, I think I would much rather kiss Liquor than any of there lips...they look soooooo angry!

Shoot, I was with lots of women that looked like that when I was in the Navy. Come to think of it though, I was usually pretty well liquored up whenever I "kissed" one of them. That’s what God made alcohol for.

Those ladies look like they need more than a few kisses to put some smiles back on their faces.....

RAC, whats that old joke I'm gonna keep drinking till you look good. I'm going to be on the road for a few months will check in on the blog every now and again when I come across a hot spot.

I honestly do not see how that poster would have detoured any man from drinking liquor, rather it would have been a requirement to kiss them. We all know that prohibition didn't work, and it doesn't work today either.

I hate to say it, I would have started drinking just to keep from kissing one of them.

Juliet, you will be on the road for "a few months"!?. Jesus what are you doing backpacking across Ethiopia?

A Mormon was seated next to an Irishman on a flight from London to the U.S.

After the plane was airborne, the stewardess came down the aisle taking drink orders.

The Irishman asked for a whiskey, which was promptly brought and placed before him.

The flight attendant then asked the Mormon if he would like a drink.

In disgust, he replied, "I'd rather be savagely raped by a dozen whores than let liquor touch my lips!"

The Irishman then handed his drink back to the attendant and said, "Seeing as we've got a choice, I'll have what he's having!"

Just goes to show that one man's trash is another man's treasure.

JUls your right and rac so are you but, I did hear and see for my own eyes that flight attendents get better lookin as you head here and worse as you head to the U.S. One of my best friends has been a flight attendant for over 20 yrs.She's still sexy...

Hey, speaking of flight attendants, we haven't gotten ahold of Mojo or Beverly Augon yet. Beverly was an attendant for Continental for awhile. I see there dad once in awhile but don't know if they're in touch.

I flew once a few years back to Florida and the flight attendant had such a "familiar" way about her, I asked her where she was from and she said "Guam". I said, "I knew it" with her soft Guamanian accent and lovely mannerisms. It was like meeting an old friend. Really special.
