[SOC] Fwd: FW: True love

[Jim F.]

No..It's the same venue as the Cupie Doll here in the colonies.
 
In the weight guess or the age guess game, or the ring toss, 
a big winner could pick from the top shelf....  The best prizes.
They went down in value as the shelves went lower so
if you barely won you got to pick a Chinese finger grabber
or a comb from the bottom shelf.   Cupie Dolls were not 
top shelf but the paper machet dogs with the big eyes were.
 
Top shelf =  The best stuff :-)

Jim in my part of the world it has two possible meanings but the actual 
origin eludes me:

a) You're really OK or; mostly

b) Drinks best avoided i.e. spirits which might shorten your life span. 
Most top shelf drinkers of my vintage never got to live as long as me. 
I'll enjoy an Irish Whiskey with three ice cubes maybe once a year but 
that's it for me.

I'm a Chardonnay drinker. Two beers bloats me now.

All FWIW


Thanks! :) 72/73's
