I hope that was tongue in cheek. Hey, who said Christians don't drink??? I specifically remember a keg party at a local parish hall for a super bowl game.

Not to take away from any of the instructors named, one was a pro wrestler, one speaks like a sailor and one is a confirmed drinker. NTTIAWWT

I am sure it would be fun but man it's pricey.

It's about $40/hr. and includes meals. I think it's well worth it just to be able to close the hotel bar with those guys 3 nights in a row. Think of the stories you'd hear when those lips got loosened up.

Never trust an umpire who doesn't drink. In this job, you need it. I think of it as strike oil.
