- My dad found this on a bulletin board at work many years ago. My
- sister recently found a copy hiding in some old school stuff she was
- throwing out. A good challenge is to try to read the entire piece
- aloud without laughing. Neither I nor my sister can do it.

- The Eighteen Bottles
-
- I had eighteen bottles of whiskey in my cellar and was told by my
- wife to empty the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, or
- else... I said I would and proceeded with the unpleasant task. I
- withdrew the cork from the first bottle and pured the contents down the
- sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew
- the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with it, with the
- exception of one glass, which I drank. I then withdrew the cork from
- the thrid bottle and poured the whiskey down the sink which I drank. I
- pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the
- bottle down the glass, which I drank. I pulled the bottle from the
- cork of the next and drank one sink out of it, and threw the rest down
- the glass. I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork
- down the bottle. Then I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the
- drink and drank the pour. When I had everything emptied, I steadied
- the house with one hand, counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks
- with the other, which were twent-nine, and as the houses came by I
- counted them again, and finally I had all the houses in one bottle,
- which I drank. I'm not under tha affluence of incohol as some tinkle
- peep I am. I'm not half as thunk as you might drink. I fool so
- feelish I don't know who is me, and the drunker I stand here, the
- longer I get.
