Personally wonder why the skin pigmentation of your milkman or anyone would be of concern.
There was this guy who said he judged people by the content of their character, not the color of his skin.
And on a scary thought, I am old enough to remember when the milkman delivered milk in glass bottles to the front porch.

Originally posted by HandyAndyi was a milkboy delivering milk from about the age of twelve to sixteen, it was terrible in wintertime, you could not wear gloves because you need to stick your fingers into the empty bottles to collect them from the door step and the glass used to stick to your hands. We still get milk delivered in Scotland. We used to collect apples from gardens and store them on our milk van to throw at rival milk deliveries, it was awesome, hit and run. Once we collected milk bottles from an entire estate and put them at a single house of a rival, when the milk boy came he had to collect bottles from the door step, all the way down the path to the roadway, hundreds of them 🙂
Apparently we didn't get the memo. Home delivery of milk in glass bottles
is still available in Rhode Island and many other parts of New England.

when you get old enough you'll learn to drink your whiskey with ice instead of lemonade, cherry's and a little wooden umbrella stuck on top.
Are you sure you're not a damnyank?
Straight, please. If it's cask strength, with just a drop of water - but mind, just a drop, not a splash.

When you get old enough to drink malt you will realise that you cannot have one too many drams!
