"I have a glass of ethanol every morning before breakfast..."

Why? Is it to nurse the hangover from last night's fundraising party that virtually nobody attended? If the presidential race were like a game of "who wants to be a millionaire", and I were the host, I'd advise McCain to take the money and walk away, because the presidential-level questions might be too tough for him.

Sure, it's an innocent little joke, but does he realize that ethanol IS the form of alcohol we drink in beer, wine, and spirits?

A GLASS of ethanol (usually a glass is considered 8 oz) would be the equivalent of 16 shots of vodka.

It's just a joke, but it's funnier when you realize it has other connotations.

I'll tell you. If I were him I'd drink a bottle of Geritol every morning and then go sit in the sun!

And diesel was invented to run on peanut oil.

I suspected he was a moonshiner,doesn't he know that making shine is illegal? If it wasn't for people like him drinking the ethanol,it'd be our fuel already. The combustion engine was invented for ethanol,not gasoline.
