powerdesal Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 The Value of aDrink 'Sometimes when Ireflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams.If I didn't drinkthis wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is better that I drink this wine and lettheir dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.' ~ Jack Handy WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what thehell happened to your bra and knickers ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'I feel sorry for peoplewho don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. ' ~Frank Sinatra WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that youare tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'When I readabout the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.' ~ Henny Youngman WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people arelaughing WITH you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ '24 hours in a day, 24beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not.' ~ Stephen Wright WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you cansing.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 'When we drink, we get drunk.

Salvation in a can! ~ Dave Howell ~ WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you canlogically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ And saving the best forlast, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers. One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the BuffaloTheory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: 'Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only moveas fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is theslowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This naturalselection is good for the herd as a whole , because the general speed andhealth of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of theweakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operateas fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as weknow, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest andweakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beereliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and moreefficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.'WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you arewhispering when you are not.

mint Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Hi, Steve, how's you's keeping? Are you in Normandy on holiday (again)?Thanks for the message. OH and I have been laughing our heads off. Need the laugh as he broke one of his knee-caps last week and can only hobble around on crutches. As for me, I am planning a walking holiday for next month when he should be back on his feet and capable of being left to his own devices.Cheers! Now where did I put that can of beer or was it a glass of wine?WARNING: Alcohol is bad for the memory and you quickly forget how much or even what you have been drinking.

mint Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Poor Steve, you know, I was looking at my PMs and, for some reason, I thought your post was sent personally to me and so I replied!So, apologies if my post is a bit personal or inappropriate.Anyway, I didn't think it out of the ordinary that you should be PMing me about alcohol. I thought it was an encouragement from a friendly source!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdesal Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 No problem for me Sweet, I don't know about the other Forum members, especially the more serious ''all posts must be about France'' types. [:P] [:P] [:P] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Can't do serious at the mo, Steve.I'd slit my own throat or do something equally unsociable.Whatever you're do in wherever you are, I reckon it's got to be better than what I'm doing and where I am in France!Enjoy.............cause, if you don't, there's very little else!
