Busted! (Or: In Which I May Have Destroyed a Marriage)
It's entirely possible there's an innocent explanation too; how often have we paid friends for odd jobs with a bottle of booze?
Exactly. One of my neighbors, who is a contractor, came down one night to check out my furnace. The damn thing wasn't kicking on, and it was cold outside. He came down for a few minutes, took the covers off, and found that the motor had failed. While he couldn't fix, he did take time out of his schedule. So, he found a case of Yuengling on his porch the next day. Same guy installed the railings on my front porch. Yep, another case for him....and another after he did some repairs at my mom's.

I know I've saved money by buying a couple cases of beer instead of shelling out cash directly. I guess he didn't want to make the trip to the store himself, so... what the hell, it's on my way home anyways, and I stop there regularly.
Still, it's not nice to surprise the devout wife like that, no matter where the beer went.
