Definition of Whisky

Great words of wisdom!!!

Just in case there was any doubt about the definition of Whisky

In 1952, Noah S. "Soggy" Sweat, Jr., a member of the Mississippi House
of Representatives, was asked about his position on whiskey.

Here's how he answered:

If you mean whiskey, the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody
monster that defiles innocence, dethrones reason, destroys the home,
creates misery and poverty, yea, literally takes the bread from the
mouths of little children;

If you mean that evil drink that topples Christian men and women from
the pinnacles of righteous and gracious living into the bottomless pit
of degradation, shame, despair, helplessness, and hopelessness, then,
my friend, I am opposed to it with every fiber of my being.

However, if by whiskey you mean the oil of conversation, the
philosophic wine, the elixir of life, the ale that is consumed when
good fellows get together, that puts a song in their hearts and the
warm glow of contentment in their eyes;

If you mean Christmas cheer, the stimulating sip that puts a little
spring in the step of an elderly gentleman on a frosty morning;

If you mean that drink that enables man to magnify his joy, and to
forget life's great tragedies and heartbreaks and sorrow;

If you mean that drink the sale of which pours into our treasuries
untold millions of dollars each year, that provides tender care for
our little crippled children, our blind, our deaf, our dumb, our
pitifully aged and infirm, to build the finest highways, hospitals,
universities, and community colleges in this nation, then my friend, I
am absolutely, unequivocally in favour of it.

This is my position, and as always, I refuse to compromise on matters
of principle.
