Well, here's one for you. I got a Fulbright grant a few years back and
decided celbrate so I walked into a local pub and only a few old men were
sitting at the bar, but I thought, "Oh well, why not?" and bought the house a
drink. The bartender told them that I had just got a Fulbright and was
celebrating. They toasted me and had their drinks. About ten minutes later,
the bartender set a drink in front of me. I asked him who bought it for me. He
motioned to a fellow on the other side of the bar who lifted his drink. "Yeah,
" he said, "I got my wife a Hoover last week." (A Hoover, in case you folks
down under don't know, is a vacuum cleaner.) Cheers, tom ault
