[Ducati] RE: Water at the MotoGP

[ray tubach]

oh please. you just get done explaining how no one could predict the weather 
and then you try to blame Coca Cola for not enough water at "inflated 
prices". it's dat big devil Coke. always ruining a good time.

seriously, if Coke was supplying the drinks there, why not try to find out 
how much they had to pay to even BE there, much less vend.? without 
corporate participation, it's not likely that there would even BE a motoGP. 
remember Coke is not a person. the people who work for Coke were probably 
doing their best under some very difficult conditons.

sorry, but I've had it up to here with people complaining about any and 
every little thing that ruffles their shorts. check me tomorrow, I might be 
in a better mood...
