John Got Classy

John sent me this photo of himself in an email with the subject line "classy." That's it - no body copy, no further explanation necessary.

So I replied: "I had no idea. You think you know someone... You want to play some chess later? Also - can you recommend a good brie to go with my 89 pinot noir?"

To which he replied: "Indubitably, and by the way the production area of Brie de Meaux lays about 50 km (31 miles) east of Paris. Brie de Meaux is an ancient cheese. The oldest evidence is found in the chronicles of Charlemagne. The Emperor tasted the cheese in the small city of Brie in the year 774. During the French Revolution, Louis XVI last wish was supposedly for a final taste of Brie... so... I think I know a thing or two about Brie. I would suggest anything flown in directly from the coast of France, cheap American knockoffs are no companion of an 89 Pinot Noir! Ciao!"

Thank God for Wikipedia or my brother would be such an asshole.
