74. Mountain of Magnums

It’s a proper law of physics, the gravitational pull of magnums. A particular type of person leans towards magnums. These “magnum people” are simply more fun; how could they not be? The weight of a magnum, center stage at any table, conveys a message- an implied invitation to all those gathered. Magnums are the signature of “a gathering” which is different than other human interactions. A gathering is more profound, with magnums acting as the connector. We choose to see magnum people as the provocateurs of fun. They are the raconteurs, the stokers, the pied pipers leading their peeps to intrigue and grandeur.  

So there is only one crucial question to ask: If you are a magnum person, what are you going to do about it?
