The Unemployed Philosophers Guild Great Drinkers Shot Glasses, Red/Blue/Yellow/Purple/Green/Grey (6-Piece) Did you ever wonder how shot glasses got their name? According to the overpaid workers in our Unemployed Philosophers Research Department, shot glasses got their name in the Old West. Cowboys would enter saloons and trade bullets for small glasses of whiskey. We often suspect our researchers of making crap up, but this theory has the ring of truth to it Our country has always fostered a relationship between liquor and guns - the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms is just one example. (Dick Cheney is another.) And so we're offering this cool and unique set of Shot Glasses. They're decorated with a variety of targets, and one with a realistic bullet hole.
