A martini anywhere, hidden in your mints tin

Do you often find yourself without a martini? Do you ramble about your house, surrounded by empty mint tins that you can’t bring yourself to throw out? Perhaps one of those problems could help solve the other one!

In this innovative solution to the modern cultural frowning on “martinis for breakfast” you can surreptitiously make yourself the gentleman’s drink in just about any environs.

I would have two suggestions: A reusable glass — perhaps a flat, folding plastic cup like an Orikaso dish. And, perhaps keeping a couple of mints in the tin could help camouflage your post-martini breath.

I remember, when I was a boy, that someone gave me a Guide to Spying as a gift once, and it included instructions for making a full-on secret message-writing kit and hiding it in a cigarette carton.

It just never occurred to me that a 10-year-old carrying a cigarette case would be a tad conspicuous.

(thanks, Cameron!)
