12 year old single malt, neat (that means "pour it in the glass, no ice, no water").
One of my college professors was Art Schawlow, who got (jointly) the Nobel Prize for inventing the
laser. Dr. Schawlow loved to teach the introductory physics class. And his policy was "if I don't lecture
on it, I won't test on it." And he loved to lecture about lasers. And it was well known
that he wouldn't test on advanced laser stuff. So the classes would happily get him talking about
lasers. One day somebody ask "what can you use as a laser?" Doc Schawlow sez: "ruby rod,
He Ne mix, distilled water, Scotch". Then the obnoxious premed who you KNOW is going to Johns
Hopkins sez: "But Dr. Schawlow, couldn't it be the water in the Scotch that's lasing?". Doc:
"Hoot, Lassie, there's no water in Scotch, and any mon who puts it there, isn't a mon."
