I just unearthed a (unopened) fifth of Beefeaters, (for putting the  
yellow raisins into), and read the history on the label about the  
Beefeaters. Seems they were the British equivalent of the Samurai.   
Ran, and still run, the Tower of London.

Likely there's a similar story about the folks in Scotland and their  
Scotch Whiskey.  I guess it's natural that elite warriors are strongly  
connected with strong drink.

How about this:

Get good tractor.
Plant and harvest grain.
Make good moonshine.

All is well.
