The crappy corner convenience store on my block has a $200 bottle of Dom sitting on the shelf behind the counter with all of the knock-off scotch and dubious tequilas. The bottle is encrusted with dust and looks like it's been there for about ten years. I've always wondered what would happen if I bought it — would doing so upset the natural order of the universe, offend God with my arrogance, and summon the horsemen of the Apocalypse to rain down their terrible works upon the Earth?
