In the words of the immortal Bard "Bugger"!

Yeah, the Doctor ordered a bone density test, turns out I have some osteoporosis from years of taking Prednisone for my RA.
Apparently, another one of prednisone's side effects is it makes EVERYTHING shorter... At least that's what I tell my wife...

the mini gallon cold be akin to us back in the day having our keg parties there was the standard keg 8 gallons I believe, which was abought the right size for a Friday night after the game party. Then there was the jumbo keg 12 gallons I think. This would have been the weekend at the lake or beach party keg. And along comes the Super keg 16 gallons. wholey Smokes I can't believe I actually graduated party keg, or for a wake when a bud got married. No not a wake as in after a funeral but pretty much the same thing. However now that the games are over we no longer go to the beach, there are no more collage/ university parties. the marriage is settled down we needed our own weekend relaxation keg so along comes the 1 or 2 gallon mini keg.
With tea, I'm not a tea drinker thank you very much, the Gallon of tea would be for the whole family probably dad mom and 2 1/2 kids. Don't know where the 1/2 kid came from look it up sometime the teenager wants some tea on his way home from his / her protest march they have no idea about liters or quarts but a mini gallon sounds about the right size to drink since it looks like mom and dad's gallon of tea they bring home but probably small enough for personal consumption.
