I had a friend that worked for a moving company. He moved this guy across country and set up his furniture in his new house in L.A. Part of his furniture was a wine rack that they set up in the basement. The guy started to place his bottles of wine in the rack when my buddy saw the name of the winery, St James Winery, St James, Mo. It just so happens that we grew up about 10 minuets from the winery. My buddy then starts to lie to this guy that the grape plantation sets on a toxic dump site (i.e. Times Beach). The guy starts to freak out and starts to frantically making phone calls.
My buddy just smiles and leaves without telling him the truth.
