Booze
So, today in one of my history courses, I learned how the word BOOZE made it into the English language. Apparently it stems from when William Henry Harrison was running for presidency. He won the election because of the amount of alcohol that his campaigners gave to the voters. The company that produced Harrison's alcohol for him was a company named Booze out of Northern New York.
Apparently I'm not wasting my money going to college....:paranoid: |

I don't think i'll be thinking about that... |
what amazes me is how politicians used alcohol to get people to vote certain ways. Now (at least in PA...and I'm pretty sure nationwide) bars and liquer stores can't sell alcohol until like 2 or 3 hours after the polls close...and that's with any election. There is a reason for it...but thats a long but fairly simple story. If anyone actually wants to know just ask...I'll tell.

lol i think i can guess the basics of it..;) but that is interesting...

if you use that as a convo starter, you damn well better tell the guys where you found out that info....wait...then they'll think I'm a bigger dork than you. Ok...on second thought, DON'T tell them how you found it out or lie or something. Don't tell them it was me.:no: |
