About this listen

Imagine a "war" where the "shots" are bottles of liquor and the "battles" involve planting flags and leaving witty notes.

This tale of good-natured rivalry and diplomatic ingenuity proves that sometimes, the best way to resolve a conflict is with a shared sense of humor and a fine dram.
