Roscoe works for a big corporation, a big corporation with a liquor policy. Specifically, he’s only allowed to have one alcoholic drink at lunch. And thus, I was surprised to find Roscoe rather inebriated when I met him at his office this afternoon.

"Looks like you’ve had more than one drink today,” I observed. “I thought you were worried about violating your company’s liquor rules.”

“I’m following the policy to the letter,” Roscoe replied, “I did only have one drink with lunch.”

Noting my skeptical look, he continued, “perhaps I should add that lunch consisted of three martinis.”

Advertising is a strange profession.
