I wouldn’t recommend trying this at work…. sensitive liberal ears beware..
Tom had been in the liquor business for 25 years. Finally sick of the stress he quits his job and buys 50 acres of land in Alaska as far from humanity as possible.
He sees the postman once a week and gets groceries once a month. Otherwise it’s total peace and quiet.
After six months or so of almost total isolation, someone knocks on his door. He opens it and a huge, bearded man is standing there. "Name’s Lars, your neighbor from forty miles up the road. Having a Christmas party Friday night. Thought you might like to come. About 5:00." "Great", says Tom, "After six months out here I’m ready to meet some local folks. Thank you."
As Lars is leaving, he stops. "Gotta warn you, be some drinkin’." "Not a problem," says Tom. "After 25 years in the business, I can drink with the best of ‘em."
