Oh, funny thing from a book Lis bought for me

So, Lis bought me a book called The Joy of Mixology.

It's got some chapters on the history of bartending. And it mentions that, in the American Old West, one of the slang terms for bartenders was from Greek mythology -- after all, bartenders give people alcohol, so why not use the name of Zeus's cupbearer?

So, bartenders were called "ganymedes."

Okay, I cracked up at that, as did Lis, and we were wondering how many other people would find that funny. Most of the people we know who we think would get the joke also read Lis's blog where she mentioned the same thing. . . ( In which I explain the joke )
