Jeg kan huske, at da jeg som ca. 21-årig sejlede mellem New York og Bahama-øerne som medlem af besætningen, havde jeg tilladelse til at tage to flasker whisky med mig hver gang, jeg gik fra borde og tog ind til New York. Men når jeg stod på bussen, blev de hver gang købt til den tredobbelte pris, for der kostede dette produkt meget mere.
I remember when, at the age of about 21, I worked as part of the crew of a ship which travelled between New York and the Bahamas: whenever I left the ship and ventured into New York City I was allowed to take two bottles of whisky with me, which, as I boarded the bus, would regularly be bought from me at three times the price, for whisky was much more expensive in New York.
