Default "Grappling with grappa".

--> Grappa does, indeed, carry the odour of a heavy hangover,
--> the sort that forces stinking, unprocessed alcohol out
--> through your pores in an all-over body burp. Apparently,
--> Italo Calvino thought it appropriate only for "defrocked
--> priests, unemployed bookkeepers and husbands that have been
--> cuckolded". Perhaps the kindest thing I've heard said about
--> it - and this must be the extremeness of the alcohol level -
--> is that it smells like skin-toner.

I'm glad I read this *after* the trip to Italy.

Put it through a Britta water filter about four times and it should be
right (you will have to ditch the filter afterwards though.)

Grappa didn't give me a hangover! Goddam Italians probably hid the
"good" grappa! The bums!
