105. When I was in the military I used to fish in a dry county.

A no booze county. BUT there was a workaround. When you went to a bar they only sold the mixes i.e coke, ginger ale, water, club soda, etc. You could brown back your booze and check it in with the house. They would issue you a number.

So your bottle of rum might be 23. Your vodka 19. You get the idea.
So you would order 23 & coke or 19 & club soda. You get the idea.

Considering most questions in these hearings are read from prepared statements.

So here is the brown bag version of Collin's list

#0 Trump, president etc.
#1 Cowardly
#2 Infantile
#3 Bilking the taxpayer
#4 Delusional
#5 Hypocritical
#6 Liar
#7 Amoral
#8 Lining the pockets of his cronies
#9 Draft-dodger
#10 Crook
#11 Conman
#12 Engaged in illegal activity
#13 Crook
#14 Racist
#15 Bigot
#16 Misogynist
#17 Un-American
#18 Giving aid and comfort to the enemy
#19 Spying
#20 Abusing power
#21 Abusing Executive Privilege
#22 Demagogue
#23 Disrespected the office

Each prepared statement is broadcast to provide a key.

So.. Isn't it true that your boss #0 is a #6 and a #14, and a #20 and of course totally #21. Answer Yes or No!

Well, you get the point. I went home many a night mostly drunk on #19 and club soda. Never having said the word alcohol. I was never sure why I had a hangover.
