Dewars Scotch Whiskey (1897)

Obviously, these guys have "knocked back" their booze . . .

. . . PRIOR to "coming out" on this dance stage. I think the guy in the middle is my great great uncle Rudy. Gramps says his uncle was a spoon and fork short of a silverware set. When Rudy was at Eton, he had a chance to win the prize miniature cannon for being the top student in the mechanical engineering finals. He practically aced the test. However, on one of the easiest parts, where you just had to label a line drawing "left, right, left, right, left, right," Uncle Rudy wrote "right, left, right, left, right, left" and got marked six off, missing the cannon by one point! (Even though Rudy had life-long problems with spacial relations, he never believed in double-checking his work!) Unfortunately, this incident at boarding school set the tone for the rest of Rudy's life; he was lost at Verdun when he took a wrong turn in the trench (and he could have aged out of his regiment earlier, but he just loved drilling too much to quit). At any rate, I'm glad the Dewars people remember Rudy.
