THE FUNNIEST TOAST I EVER HEARD. A Comforting Thought For The Sinful.

In 2002, I had occasion to be at a "Scotch vs. Bourbon tasting" with Booker Noe, who operated the Small Batch Bourbon Collection (higher-end bourbons such as Baker's, Basil Hayden's, Booker's and Knob Creek). This jolly and rotund fellow was also the grandson of Jim Beam. He invited all the guests to raise a glass and bellowed out:
"May there be no hell!"

That one had us all laughing. Short, sweet and to the point. Booker passed away in 2004. I suppose that, one way or another, he knows.
