My Grandpa used to call Jameson's "Holy Water". Grandpa was a very religious man. He started and ended each day with Holy Water.

He was coming through customs at the Airport returning from a trip to Irland about 10 years ago. The customs agent asked him if he had anything to declair. To which he answered no. So the customs agent starts to go through his suit case and discovers an bottle in a paper sack. Well, what's this? he asked my Grandpa. Holy Water he answers. The customs man pushes the bottle up out of the bag and looks at it and turns to my Grandpa and says it is not, it's a bottle of Jamesons Irish Whiskey. My Grandpa droped to his knees clasping his hands together and starts to pray saying Lord thank you for the miricle of changing the water into whiskey and bestowing your blessing on this humble man. The customs agent was laughing so hard by this point he let him go WITH the bottle.

Edit: True Story!!
