Well, the hits just kept on coming for one Mr. Christopher T. Turner of South Carolina. Last February, he checked into the Drake, where he was staying while on a business trip. He decided to have a little whiskey from the minibar, but when he drank the mini bottle of Dewar's White Label Scotch Whiskey, he says it tasted like urine.
Turner contacted the director of sales about the tainted whiskey, and a fight ensued because the director attempted to confiscate the bottle. Turner was thrown out of the hotel, forcing him to stay at the Park Hyatt Chicago.
Wait, what? There's definitely something missing from this story. Turner says he when he tried to get his company to pay his hotel bill and they found out about the altercation, he got fired. Now he's suing the Drake, which leads us to our new favorite headline:
Lawsuit: Whiskey Tasted Like Urine And I Got Fired

Maybe he just confused by the natural taste of Dewars.
Oh SNAP! (Are people still saying that?)
And yes, it's funny because it's true.
Some people just need to stay as far away from whisky as possible.
Perhaps I've led a sheltered life, but I wouldn't have the frame of reference to accurately describe anything as "tasting like urine." Even urine. I'd have to liken it to something else. Or did he take in the bouquet before actually quaffing? "Hmm. Smells like urine. Better take a swig. Yup, not sure what urine tastes like, but I bet it tastes like that."
Sounds like his erstwhile employer really dodged a bullet on this idiot.

You're in (see what I did there...) luck! I'm now setting up a "Waterworld" fantasy camp! Come over and I'll teach you how to:
-Overact your way out of everything
-Waste millions of a studio's money
-Singlehandedly kill Jean Triplehorn's movie career
-And yes, enjoy the great taste of human waste!
Well, from the results of my college prank years, I can tell you that the most common reaction to a beer bottle full of urine is, "Hey. This tastes like water."
Even Dewar's has more taste than that.
