I don't think that would fit into my wine rack.

Brilliant (sorry, Siouxie) of Dave to save this until an appropriate (RIp Torn) reference could be made.
That's why he makes the big bucks and we don't.
Bravo, sir.

I had a recipe for some Chinese meal that called for a cup of Chinese wine. It added, if you don't have Chinese wine, bourbon makes a good substitute.

They must be planning to launch one humungously big ship.

Quite possibly the funniest blog headline ever: Don't Tell Rip Torn.

When the wine you espouse
Is as big as a house
That's a Merlot....

This conversation happened in India. It took place in an Indian language between the people in the room and in English between the persons on the phone. (I have changed the names to lessen the complexity)
Mark calls out, “John, phone for you.”
“Is if for me or for John Black?” asks John.
Mark, to the person on the phone, “What is your name?”
“My name is Peter.”
“No, no. Not your ‘What is your name’. I want the ‘What is your name’ over here.”
