I had a similar experience with my MIL. She is a junk collector. Does a lot of garage sale-ing, and picks up odds and ends and stores the stuff in a two car garage. The garage is packed w/ junk. I was asked to move a dresser out of there and low & behold I see a glass 5 gal Alpine Water Bottle!!
I asked her what she was going to do with it, she says,
"Nothing, why do you want it?"
I'm like, "Yes!!"
She says "Tell me what you want it for first."
I say,"Beer making."
She goes on to tell tell me she doesn't know what was in it before and that I might get poisioned. I tell he that I will clean it first. That was OK with her. Now this bottle is on a decanting craddle hinged and all. It has a screw on cap to boot. Its pretty nice score for $0.00
2 hours later.....
She comes in to the house and tells me, "I don't think you really need it."
I'm like, "What???"
She goes, "Once you open it you'll have to drink all of that beer or it will go flat!!!! You know I don't think you need to drink that much!!"
I'm busting up on the floor laughing. I explain that it will be a fermentation vessel and that I promised not to drink out of it." Come to think of it that would a 645oz beer!
This total redefines the meaning, "I'm only gonna have one!!"
That's hilarious!
