he learned something new every
day at
least he tried maniacally butt
he thought he knew what a butt was
but he didnt canya tell he was having some fun
a butt is two hogsheads
right whas a hogshead
sixtythree Imperial gallons
right whas an Imperial gallon
an Imperial gallon is fourpointfivefive
rounded up
litres onepointtwo
gallons compared to an American gallon
gallon looked intriguing to him Middle English from Anglo-Norman French galon pail liquid
measure perhaps Celtic origin
thereby a butt is onehunredtwentysix
Imperial gallons
why did he learn this today
because History is a pip
he read Shakespeare
read the War of the Roses read that George Plantagenet Duke of Clarence was
executed in Tower of London on his brothers King Edward IV orders
a zesty private execution
George was drowned in a butt of
malmsey
he knew what malmsey was
a fortified Madeira wine made from boal grape that smells tastes like roasted
coffee salted caramel bitter cacao dates and golden raisins
why would he know that
he worked part-time in a liquor
store
he couldnt work full-time if he
wanted
he had things to learn
