Rob DewolfSinced the subject is grading companies, I can't resist passing this along:
I was waiting in line at a specialty stand at the Reds opener Monday to buy a beer for a friend of mine who prefers the microbrews as opposed to the Buds and Bud Lights. No problem. So I get to the front of the line and ask for a Great Lakes something or other (can you tell I'm not a beer drinker?). The vendor tells me he can't sell me any kind of beer except Bud Light because the plastic cups for the premium beers are locked up in a cabinet and he doesn't have the key.
I know what you're thinking, and that's what I said: "Can't you just put the Great Lakes beer in the Bud Light cup?" I asked.
No way, I was told. Bud Light or nothing.
How does this relate to a thread about a grading service?
Because I wanted to scream to the guy, "I'm buying the beer, not the holder!"
