Rat Man

One day while I was working for Cable TV one of my customers told me he had something interesting to show me. He took me into his basement. There he had booze made from just about everything you could possible make it from. Every kind of fruit, anything that would ferment, he made booze from it. The whole basement was full. Shelf after shelf of big jars of booze. Plums, apples, peaches, you name it. I was still drinking back then and I was quite impressed. I sampled a few and they were pretty good. Prohibition was a stupid idea because one can easily make booze. Some kind of fruit or anything else that will ferment, yeast, bottles, a balloon to top the bottles, cheese cloth to strain it with, and you have booze. I've made wine and it came out really good. When Dad was in the navy during WWII they didn't always have access to alcohol so they improvised. They took the raisins from their rations, pooled them altogether, and made raisin jack. It probably tasted like crap but as Dad would say, any port in a storm.
