How disappointing. What an anti-climax the last sentence was.
I thought Ken would have said something like:
"A heavy drinking friend of mine says he once bought a bottle and
the combined weight of him and the bottle made a large dent in the tarmac"
or
".... he once bought a bottle and is now mailing it to you."
or
".... he once bought a bottle but now ships it in kegs"
or something else.

Thank you so very much.
