Quote of the Day

Arnon Milchen bathes in champagne, he drinks champagne at every meal, my wife received a minute amount of that. He fills his entire cellar with champagne.... I would like to know how many calories are in 160 crates of champagne just to clarify that it is impossible. Simply there is no such thing. If she would have dank all those calories she would look like a sumo wrestler

 -- PM Benjamin Netanyahu in his testimony today in the corruption trial

true or not I dont know and have no comment but that is a funny way to put it

    I first grew very skeptical, at the very least, of all these charges against Bibi when it was alleged at some point that he was redeeming tens of thousands of shekels worth of wine bottles at the local supermarket and Sara was keeping the cash. Leaving aside that getting tens of thousands of shekels in deposits would require consumption of the impossible number of about a hundred thousand bottles of wine a year, I knew firsthand- because his supermarket is our supermarket- that the store (then) only redeemed bottles for store credit, not cash. That's when I realized that all of these cases, and the associated rumors, are most likely nonsense.

    I dont know if they are nonsense or not, or if some are nonsense and some are serious, but you dont think the intern he is sending to redeem bottles knows he cant get cash at that supermarket so goes to a different supermarket for this? it isnt even possible?

      The accusation was quite specific in the details.

      And he's not sending some "intern" with thousands of bottles. Come on, you just made that up.

      you mean the accusation is that Benjamin Netanyahu went himself to the supermarket with thousands of bottles (and obviously it wasnt thousands of bottles at one time)??? that sounds crazier. to me it is obvious that when they say Bibi turned in bottles it is surely an intern or an aide

      and again, I am making no claim that he did it or didnt do it. just commenting on the quote. I have refrained from commenting anything about his legal issues since they began

      Nobody drinks thousands of bottles of wine.

      Churchill is reputed to have drunk a fifth of whisky every day. As for wine, a bottle a day over ten years is 3650 bottles. That is pretty easy, and I would say quite common.
