Morning, everyone. I'm leaving later today for a conference in Salt Lake. I have tickets to the Lakers/Jazz game tomorrow night. Anyone think the Jazz can win one at home or at least cover game 3? I'll have to put a little action on the game.

I thought Oklahoma's liquor laws were fucked up. I'm staying at the Marriott City Center in downtown Salt Lake. I go to the bar. "Do you have a membership?"
"No".
"Are you a hotel guest?"
'yes'.
"OK, please fill out this membership".
"OK",
"What would you like?"
"You have Ketel One?"
"Sure do."
"I'll have a dry Ketel martini up."
"I have to warn you that it will be a small martini since it's a one-ounce pour.".
"Is that the law?"
"Yes, no way around it."
"Can I have a double?"
"No, sorry, not possible. Everything is metered."
"How much will a one-oz martini run me?"
"about $9".
"for a one-oz pour?!!!' That's 2/3 of a shot!
gave him the same sign I give the blackjack dealer when I'm going to stand. "I don't blame you.", the bartender says. I don't mind paying $10 or $12 bucks for a martini that has 3 oz of top-shelf vodka.
...but, I can order a 375 ml bottle of vodka from room service, albeit Absolut. How much sense does that make? I did that, cost me $30 + tag, title and tax, but that was for 12.5 oz, so $40/12.5 is not 9. Fuck Joseph Smith and his 42 wives. Mormons are worse than the Baptists...sorry if any of you are Baptists.... or Mormons.
Need to mark down Salt Lake City as one place I will never visit
Morning all!
You would think this state would have sympathy for the man. After all, with more than 1 wife, you need to be fucked up all the time to listen to all that bitching and moaning.
