Plenty of whisky and bourgon for hubby - and enough brandy to make a couple gallons of sangria (I'll need the red wine though).

Love your thread title :coolsmiley: I know it's actually a serious issue, "supply chain" problems. It's happening in every facet of commerce. For the past few months in many states there's been a shortage of bottled water, not because water is scarce but rather the bottles themselves due to "Covid issues". I don't know if that means exactly.

My daughter's in-laws ordered a motor boat months ago hoping they'd have it to use this summer but no dice. And they had no ETA either. Likewise, my sister ordered a fountain for her patio and they said it would be there in six weeks. Well, it more like nine and counting. Forget about getting anything repaired or getting contractors to do work for you and if they do, their prices are outrageous because they know they have you over a barrel. Some of this is legit but it's also people taking advantage of "Covid" as an excuse to raise prices and ditch their previous customer service standards and practices.

We have plenty of 'stuff' here in UK. but a shortage of truckers to deliver it.
Maybe a mutual exchange?
Truckers for stuff!

In case anyone didn't get it, apparently the moderators do, this is a dark humor joke. I should have posted it in the joke forum, but oh well.

I didn’t get it. Guess I’m just not as sharp as the rest of y’all. 🤣
