Indian givers

Remember when you were a child on the playground and someone gave you something and then took it back? You called such people "Indian givers." Well, those people grew up and some of them are in the whiskey business. 
Isabel Lloyd, deputy editor of "Intelligent Life" reports on this in The gift that stops giving,  - A humorous account of a gift of a large and unusually expensive bottle of whiskey that landed on her desk—accompanied by a card explaining that the manufacturers wished to "gift it" to her for Christmas.
Read the essay, smile and ask yourself, "Would I have drunk the whiskey?"
Merry Christmas to all my readers.
