What happened to the fine art of toasting?
associatedcontent.com
The practice of toasting may have begun as early as 6th century BC. To some degree or another it has always been a sign of friendship. Although back then, it was as much a symbolic act of friendship as proof that the drinks were not poisoned (apparently this was a very common way of disposing of an enemy).
I feel that toasts have gone out of style in this country.
So, in an effort to bring back this ancient practice (toasting, not poisoning people), I give you a quote to end the week with. Feel free to use this toast, or at the very least, make your own toast. Make eye contact. Be genuine. Raise your glass. Cheers!
I do not know to whom I should credit this toast, so if you know, please leave a comment:
“I would like to make a toast to lying, stealing, cheating and drinking. If you’re going to lie, lie for a friend. If you’re going to steal, steal a heart. If your going to cheat, cheat death. And if you’re going to drink, drink with me.”
