"High-grade booze at a fair

"How did you come around to

"The location of the church,
that's how."
"What church?"
'The local tribe's evangelical
church. It's barely 100 yards from
their casino."
"So what?'
"Hear me out. Right between
their church and the casino is a
perfect spot for a distillery."
"You're crazy all right. The his-

"But times are changing. It's a
great time to make a buck. Time
to forgive and forget."
"I suppose I could drink to
