Of course, if you were with us at training you would likely be dismissed at the same time too, Gary or should we rename you "Mr. Jigger".

I hadn't realized jigger was such an esoteric word. It probably speaks to my upbringing that it was in common use in our house when I was growing up. Or maybe it just speaks to my age.

I don't think it is. It is a proper measurement. But I was a bartender in college and law school, so I learned to measure by pour.

I think you'd make staying at the Marriott more palatable!

Ditto for my household growng up.... It is still used in bartender's lingo today and most good bar sets for home use include a jigger or even two sizes of jiggers in them. So, I was just kidding you Gary about Mr. Jigger.

So, I was just kidding you Gary about Mr. Jigger. I met Mr. Peanut about 50 years ago. He was giving something peanut-related to the kids. I also met "Oscar Meyer" at a Wienermobile stop. He even gave me a three-note whistle. Not quite the same thing as being Mr. Jigger though.

Mr. Jigger could be handing out free drinks to the "adult" kids in the crowd.

Does it speak to my age that the term mostly reminds me of Jay-Z? I saw jiggers being put to use this weekend behind the bars at a concert in a fancy venue. It seems antiquated in the bar industry unless you have a boss that's a real stickler for accurate pours.

If you have a boss who is a real stickler for the amount of liquor going out, there is a contraption that goes over the bottle to prevent over-pours and keep track of inventory. I worked in one bar with that blasted thing.
