"Jim Beall...probably had problems as a kid while was called " jim Beam" !!!!!" My name is Jim Bean and I'm not that thin skinned! No, my guess is he's a recovering alcoholic who thinks everyone else needs to recover too.

That headline sounds like a Monopoly card. I keep picturing the old man's face looking stunned.
