Reason to Drink For Jan. 5

By James Leave a Comment

Ok so I missed a few days already. Sue me. I promise I wasn’t just being lazy. I’ve been doing all sorts of shit the past few days. I’ve been taking down Christmas decorations, going to parties, drinking and making beer. That’s right, making beer. But I digress. Here’s the first Drunk Pirate reason to drink of 2009.

On Jan. 5, 1914, Henry Ford, head of the Ford Motor Company, introduced a minimum wage scale of $5 per day. So when you get off work today, go to the store and buy $5 worth of cheap booze and reminece about when Ford was a great company run by a great man.
