Last week I was supposed to meet a guy for coffee at 9:30am. My daughter was up all night and wouldn't go to sleep. When our nanny came in the morning, I accidentally fell back asleep and woke up, knowing full well I was screwed, at 9:20am.
I called the guy and asked if I could buy him lunch instead. He said "sure". I showed up and asked him if he had ever heard of the Whiskey Rule? He said "no", I pulled a bottle of Makers (bourbon) out of my bag and said "you have now". -I explained and he loved it. I think he was glad I no-showed that morning.
I am rarely late and never no-show. I blame this post for jinxing me. I also blame mk for my daughters sleeping habits. She hasn't been right in weeks. You know what I'm talking about mk. -You jinxed us ;-)

I might start doing this, just to see how people react. We do have a similar rule for being late during group projects, namely: Late? Bring vlaai.
