Kaelin's closed too. 
It's the bourbon. How else would I sleep at night after all of the bannings I've made?

Seems like everyone's Ex is cray. Just once I would love to see a dude say "she was cool, I am just a little too crazy for her."

Isn't their some fact like where all that bourbon is made is a dry country or something like that?

Right. I believe we produce more barrels of bourbon than there are residents in the state of Kentucky.
Or something like that.

- Both Jefferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln were born in Kentucky.
- By Kentucky law, straight bourbon whiskey must be aged in brand new white oak barrels. After the barrels have been used once, they are sold to distilleries in Scotland where they are used to age Scotch whiskey.

Sometimes they'll also cut down and sell the barrels as garden planters. My parents had a few from Makers that they used for their cherry tomato plants (and they grew amazingly well in them).

You're thinking of Jack Daniels, the Tennessee Whiskey that's distilled in Lynchburg, Moore County, which is dry.

The joke he's thinking of is that Bourbon County is dry and Christian County is wet, though I don't know if either is actually the case. Pretty sure Paris is wet.

Absent prohibition, Bourbon County has never been completely dry. It's a common myth.

A couple of my favorites:
Despite making up about 1/4 of the Commonwealth's population, no governor was elected from Louisville between something like 1907 and 2016.
The limestone in Kentucky, and the water it's presence creates, is responsible for both our tremendous bourbon and our world class horses.
Kentucky has more miles of running water than any state except Alaska.
More than 100 native Kentuckians have been elected governors of other states.
Middlesboro is built in a meteor crater, and was almost the site of all the industry that went to Birmingham after the civil war.

Not quite true, it is the sulfur in the water which is why north Bourbon County has produced more runners. Hard to sell sulfur water in this day and age due to the smell. However, in the Kitty Hawk jet set, resorts like French Lick IN and Hot Springs AR the "spas" were mineral water.
