I do have a job ... which is partly why I don't have time to argue with you. Last post for you, dude. Have a good life.
Now the poor boy will never get his truck.
By the way, a true Martini;
The key ingredient is unsurprisingly Bombay Sapphire Gin. Also, it is well worth noting that a fine martini glass is required for maximum enjoyment. A very thin rim is preferred.
First off, fill your cocktail shaker (glass never metal) with crushed ice.
Second, place two jiggers of Bombay sapphire Gin into the shaker.
Third, shake vigorously, until frost forms on the shaker. This breaks up the ice creating a somewhat slushy mixture which is your first key, and also fully releases the botanicals, which is your second key.
Fourth, put 3 to 4 drops of Martini & Rossi Extra Dry Vermouth into the gin glass. Gently swirl the martini glass to coat the entire inside of the glass with vermouth (much like you would with wine to see its "legs").
Fifth, give the gin a few more good shakes, then using the filter, pour it into the martini glass, it should come to about 1-2mm below the rim. A pleasant release of botanicals, smelling somewhat like fresh pine needles, should fill your senses. After a few seconds a layer of ice should form on the surface of the martini.
Sixth, drop a couple of Spanish Queen Olives into the martini.
Perfect.
