They do seem to get "tight" about it a lot.

Of course, other places have there quirks too. Like in Philadelphia, where they informed me I had broken the law when I moved from one table to another to join a friend who came in. -- Seems it's illegal there to "stand up with a drink in your hand." (I could move to another table, but I had to let the waitress move my drink?)

Or - I'm told - some parts of Utah, where it's illegal to serve liquor "by the drink," but a "drink" is defined as "less than 1.1 ounce," so they serve 1.2 ounce "shots" which makes it a "package" and everybody's happy.

I think I'll go discuss this with my friend Jack D.. Just thinking about it gives me a hangover.
