Default Lies and exaggerations

In the same spirit as the ubiquitous message "Yours FREE; just send
$5.95 to....." I just found this gem:

Read the first line, then scroll down to "International Shipping
Restrictions"

Hmph.

At the Montana clave, while having dinner with Wayno and few others, I asked
for a glass of cheap whiskey - whatever's in the well - is a phrase I might
have used. Apparently the local dialect was different than mine, so to make
things easier I said just bring me a glass of 'Jim Beam.' This blew Wayno's
brain in a search for the proper word to me that Jim Beam and cheap whiskey
are one and the same....yet it says right there on the label - 'World's
Finest. . . '

Just last week, I went to a Gentleman's club...and they let 'me' in.

.. . . there is no truth in advertising...

Having failed to be denied entry to several such establishments myself, lo
these many years ago, I had always assumed that the sobriquet "gentlemen's
club" must refer not so much to the clientele as the ownership.

who, admittedly......um....perceptually impaired....at the time, continues
to hope to this day that it wasn't the performers.

I don't understand what's wrong with this. Am I missing something?

I am with you especially if you read exactly what it says.
Virtually------ Almost but not quite; nearly
shipping restrictions and customs laws----tariffs, items not allowed by law
and etc.

Thanks Mike, I am doing well as I hope you are. I guess the clave in Ireland is
