Livin' and Lovin' in A-town

margaRITAs from Houston

One of the guys in my office came up with a great way to make a quick buck off of the latest catastrophy about to hit the Gulf of Mexico coastline. We've decided to head down I-45 towards Huntsville and Houston and set up a stand on the side of the road and sell "margaRITAs" to everyone heading north on 45. Now, we realize this would take a liquor permit, but we could get a day permit and make a killing! By the time the evacuees drove a mile, it would have taken them 5 hours, so the alcohol would have completely burned out of their system. Can't you just picture CNN and MSNBC covering the story on the line of drunk people sitting on I-45? I can just imagine some drunk red-neck guy talking on the news wondering where all the Cuervo had gone. "Got anymore salt and lime?" "We're up to a category 5!? Woo Hoo! Who cares!? We're feeling good!" "Come on Rita!"

Well, we thought it was a good idea at the time. Cheers, Rita!
