Ol' Jack's been there for me in the best of times and the worst of times. It reminds me of a story...
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with Jack Daniels.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
other times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from
anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to Jack Daniels,
"You promised me Jack,
that if I drank you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?"
Jack Daniels replied,
"You're so goddamned drunk you can't see straight, much less count footprints. Now quit having some drunken vision and have another shot instead."
