December 31, 1759:
Arthur Guinness signs a 9,000 year lease at £45 per annum and starts brewing Guinness.Who in the world is short-sighted enough to lease their property out for 9,000 years? Anyway, tonight I'm going to hoist a pint and toast Mr. Guinness for his business saavy. Better drink up now, there are only 8748 years left on the lease.
Slainte!
