Bottoms Up!

One of the reasons A.A. works so well with drunks is because "it takes a drunk to know a drunk." A new twist occurred recently when one of our friends among the priesthood took a hand with a prospect in a New England state. The father made an arrangement to meet his "charge" each Thursday, escort him to the A.A. meeting. Things went along beautifully for about six Thursdays until, on the seventh Thursday, the father found his prospect a wee bit the worse for drink. Speaking to the family about it, the father said: "Well, anyway, he's been sober for the last six weeks." "I think you're mistaken, Father," remarked one of the family, "John has been sober only the last six THURSDAYS!"
