Bourbon and 7up

While I was in line at the drug store this old guy in front of me was buying a 12 pack of 7up. He asked the clerk, a young man, "Did your father had ever tell you that 7up is so bad you have to cut it with bourbon to drink it?" The clerk and I started laughing and the young man said, "My dad is not a bourbon man." Then the old guy said, "Well the other day I had some coke that was so bad I had to cut it with gin." As the old guy left, the clerk said, "Enjoy your bourbon, Sir, I hope it's a good year."
