Frederick was hitchhiking through West Virginia. A mountaineer driving an old pickup truck stopped to give him a lift. As they rode along, they got to talking about the local moonshine whiskey. Frederick said he thought moonshine would probably be too strong for his tastes. "Nonsense!" said the mountaineer. "You gotta try some." He fished around behind him and finally produced a small jug. "Here," he said, handing the jug to the Frederick. "Take a drink!" "Oh, no thanks," said Frederick. "I don't think I care for any." "No, I insist," pressed the mountaineer. "Have some." "No, thanks - really," said Frederick. The mountaineer wasn't going to take no for an answer. He stopped the truck and grabbed his shotgun from the rack in back. He pointed the gun at Frederick and roared, "I said, take a drink!" "Okay! Okay!" said Frederick. "I've changed my mind! I guess I will have some after all." Frederick took a few swallows before he realized how powerful the stuff was. His throat muscles tightened, his eyes watered, and he made a choking sound. "What do you think of it?" asked the mountaineer. "Good, ain't it?" "Yeah," gasped Frederick. "I guess so." Then the mountaineer handed Frederick the shotgun and grinned. "Here! Now, you hold the gun on me and make me take a drink!"

Just another reason to have a gun.

Poletax, I had some stuff like that once in Missouri. Never could figure out what "octane" had to do with shine!!

You can buy moon in the ABC stores in Virginia. I never did; I drink only craft-brewed beer that's at least $1.00 a bottle at the grocery store.

The 'Moon' that is available commercially is very , very good.
They got a bunch out there. Any place that sells liquor and spirits will have some version.
But like tomatoes and cucumbers, ain't nothing compares to one outta the backyard.
