Three years ago, I was spending the weekend in Cape May, New Jersey with
a friend.  We decided that we wanted to buy a bottle of chilled white wine
and take it back to our hotel room with us to share.  At 10:05, we arrived
at a local liquor store and I pulled a bottle out of the cooler.  The clerk
informed me that he couldn't sell it to me chilled, but I could buy a warm
one!  He explained that local law required that only *warm* beer and wine
could be sold "to go" after 10:00 p.m.
