I know the joke is supposed to turn on the "appletini" instead of "apple" distinction, but are we really supposed to believe that Leroy frequently drinks such a thing? We all know that Leroy drinks incessantly to dull the reality of his miserable marriage and existence, but isn't an appletini a bit too cosmopolitan for a man of his base tastes? However, I guess there are no good puns involving daily consumption of malt liquor/cheap vodka/turpentine that doesn't come off as sad and tragic. Also, I'm no bartender, but are you supposed to put an olive in an appletini? Loretta still nails the point.
