My cousin, a senior officer in the army, recently called and asked whether I wanted him to buy me some alcoholic drinks from the officers' mess. Not one to say No to such a rare offer, I gave him a list of drinks I wanted.
Then he told me how much each costs. I was okay with the price and gave him a go-ahead. However, he said he could only buy after I sent him money as he did not have cash on him. He even claimed he had just a few cents on his mobile phone.
