Hello all,

A friend of mine used to live in Saudi Arabia in the late 70's early 80's. Recently, his health failed and we were left sorting through his stuff. I found an extremely interesting instruction manual in his paperwork that had been copied and handed out to the employees of Westinghouse and Aramco. This manual told the reader how to make their own alcoholic beverages in their kitchen. It was enigmaticlly titled:

"Perfected Techniques on the Ebullition of Sugar, Water & a suitable Catalyst to form an Acceptable Westinghouse Assimilative Imbibable Potion Appropriate for Consumption"

This was obviously to at least partially hide its purpose. After a short search on the internet, I found someone who had recreated it.

Take a look, and enjoy the ingenuity of those deprived of life's second greatest pleasure ;)
