Then there was the footballer who, when asked if he preferred playing on grass or Astroturf, reputedly replied "I dunno man, I never smoked Astroturf"

(could be apocryphal but nevertheless a great story!)

Ah, another opportunity, nay, obligation to post Half Man Half Biscuit lyrics!

"Time flies by when you're the driver of a train
Speeding out of Trumpton with a cargo of cocaine
I get high when I'm the pilot of a plane
Touching down in Camberwick I'm stoned out of my brain"

Do something pretty while you can...

Glad to see I'm not the only one posting about cocaine. I was starting to feel like a bad influence.

You are a bad influence,Nicky. Look what has happenend to me. I used to be completely innocent, and then you came 'round and i'm completely bonkers.

Slightcap, I may take credit for the (purported) liquor in your lemonade, but I will not be responsible for your lack of sanity. Do you have any supporting evidence that you were ever of sound mind?

Nicky, If anyone is too blame it is probably slightcap herself. After all, she was well warned what would happen if she stayed so close to the gutter.

I agree, Tracy. In fact, I would go so far to say that in this matter (and only this matter) you and I are entirely innocent.

Poor thing, she really should consider seeking help for that condition. Of course, I'd be happy to offer my services...

It is so sad when they get like this. My services are also at the ready should she need them.

I'll seek help, if and WHEN you two seek help as well.

Perhaps a group counselling session in early November. I'll bring the lemonade.

Ah, but who's going to counsel the psychiatrist? And then they'll need a psychiatrist too, and then...

Better off you don't get help, when all's said and done.

Actually, I was thinking more along the lines of a sympathetic bartender.

Nicky - who said you and I need help. I think we are perfectly fine don't you?

Ah, but where are you going to find a sympathetic bar? Most of the ones near me are wooden.
