Another one to put on my favorites list!

I loved the whole concept. It was the kind of show that had me thinking about it days after I first heard it. The twists in the plot were great. When the bottled was dropped overboard I thought for sure that the main character was going to live out the rest of his life with the knowledge that he wouldn't be able to sell the bottle but then it reappears. Also, toward the end I guessed that the wife would buy the bottle for a penny but for some reason am so narrow-minded that we were talking U.S. currency. Based on this bad assumption, I thought there was nothing less she could sell it for. I was a little disappointed by this final twist as I thought she didn't get what was coming to her but like other's have mentioned it was refreshing to have an episode where things turn out on a positive note.

Also... did anyone catch the Budweiser commercial at the 2:20 mark? The spokesman basically said that Budweiser should not be "sipped" but was meant to be guzzled! Can you see a commercial like that airing today? Awareness of alcohol and alcoholism have really changed in the past thirty years.
