I bottle my own water, right out of the tap.

I never got this whole "bottled water" thing, until I realized I live
in a city voted to have the best tasting tap water (Saint Louis). Then
I remembered how my mom told me when she visited my sister in CHI
once, hopw her tap water ran brown out of the tap! So I guess some
people have an excuse for paying money for that which flows "for free"
out of their taps!
