sake
on: November 10, 2005, 07:07:30 PM
ok at work, one co-worker came back from japan and gave my husband a box with what we think is sake in it.  now there's a square wooden box (cup?) in it as well...and, also a very small red paper clip. 

i'm imagining the paper clip is for your nose (but why so small?).  and, could one just simply drink out of the milk container-like sake drink - or must you drink it in a cup to get the flavor.  how do you drink over a rim of 1/4 inch piece of wood?  seems that the carton would be easier.  am i missing something.  is this really perfume?  would i be drinking a fragrance?  this mystery box did not come with instructions.

wait a minute.  i do see two english words on the box.  japanese sake.  it is sake!  ok. that's cleared up.

i decided, with the price of gas, to put it into my car.  maybe sometime i can use the wooden box as a gas cap if i lose the other cap.  but, what do i do with this little red paper clip?

I'd be more than happy to exchange the bottle for a gallon of super-premium gasoline if you want to. :D

"Oh no, I like sake, especially when it's served at the correct temperature, 98.4F, ..."

Now, who said that?
