      I read this book when I was an innocent kid and therefore completely missed the genius of

      “What’s so bad about being drunk?”
      “You ask a glass of water.”

      (It’s been a long time, might be paraphrasing unintentionally)

        Same, though I guess I was old enough to get that because my dad used to be a heavy drinker. I don’t have the book for reference but I think that’s pretty Belgium good.
