Wait a minute, I recognize you. You're Ferdinand Magellan, the great explorer, aren't you?
Um, yes, I am.
Oh, man, I love your work. The way you got around Cape Horn was simply amazing! God, where are my manners? Could I buy you a drink?
Gracias, senor. I'd prefer a glass of rye whiskey, on the rocks, but make sure the liquor's colorless, like agua.
You got it. Bartender, a clear rye for the strait guy!
