I have a Tequila story, but not what you might expect.
A friend of mine referred a big case to me, and despite the fact that we couldn't take it because of a conflict, I wanted to thank him. He likes tequila, so I bought him an expensive bottle of Porfidio. Gave it to my secretary and asked her to messenger it over to him. It was already gift-wrapped.
A couple of months later, after we already had fired the secretary, it occurs to me that he never called to say thank you. So I call him and ask whether he liked the tequila. He says, "huh? What tequila?" So I have our accounting department look for a receipt for the messenger to see who signed for it. There wasn't one. So I ask around, and one of our word processors tells me that, as a recovered alcoholic, he's pretty sure she was drinking at lunch. Obviously, she stole the bottle!
So I had to go get another bottle to send to him. This time, I made sure he actually got it! LOL
