If you drink whiskey, or even if you don’t, you’re likely familiar with “Jameson Irish Whiskey.” John Jameson was born in 1740 in Alloa in Scotland. He began his career as a lawyer, but after he married Margaret Haig in 1753, his future would be forever changed. Margaret just so happened to be the daughter of John Haig, the famous whisky distiller in Scotland. In 1774, John joined the Convivial Lodge No. 202, of the Dublin Freemasons, and by 1780 his Irish whiskey distillation began. He worked for the next 41 years, building up the business, then passed it on to his son, John II in 1851.

What’s better, is that she gets along wonderfully with your two sons. She asks you to marry her, but you refuse. Not because you don’t love her, but because you’ve been married before, and so has she. It’s never worked out, so why put that sort of pressure on things. You tell her you still love her, but it’s not enough.

Have you seen the movie, The Hills Have Eyes? Did you think it was a work of pure fiction? What if I told you that the basis for the story was based on a real person? That person was Sawney Bean.
