While on the road last week, I pick up these two vintage “Say When” shot glasses at an antique store in Waldo, Florida. I feel they make a good pair. The right-hand glass is labeled with the following measurements:

  • 0 oz. for rabbits
  • 1 oz. for ladies
  • 2 oz. for gentlemen
  • 3 oz. for pigs
  • 4 oz. for jackasses

The left-hand glass is a Southerner version, possibly designed by the same company, possibly not, emblazoned with the slogan “Say When You-All”, and labeled thusly:

  • 1 oz. for Yankees (illustrated with a passed-out weakling Yankee)
  • 2 oz. for boll weevils
  • 3 oz. for carpetbaggers
  • “To the top” for Rebels

Hic haw!

(Alas, the passed-out weakling one-ouncer Yankee is pretty much me.)

I’m Scott David Herman, I’m an American living in Canada, and I’ve been running erasing.org since 1999.

The expatriate life is very glamorous. I live and work on the fifth floor of a mid-rise glass-and-concrete ant farm situated in the abandoned ruins of downtown Hamilton, that legendary city many call the most beautiful smoke-spewing slag heap in all of Southern Ontario.

I enjoy staring into open books, mentally rotating Shakespeare’s skeleton, stacking objects in my quote-unquote office, and chopping at the Parnassian permafrost in the company of my wife Laura.
