Yeah, "rye" can be bread, but in Canada, if used in the context
of boozing it
up, it means "rye whiskey"! *G*

Of course, throughout Europe, if you say "whiskey" they hear
"whisky" and
you'll be drinking scotch!

My favourite whiskey is Jack Daniels Old Number 7. . .

MR> I dunno George, I feel kind of funny today and your post struck me as odd,
MR> had to comment. I guess I could use some of that "Rye
Whiskey" heheheh

Okay. . . hope you enjoyed your wry whisky!
