Honestly, in your place, I don't think I would have tried it. I tend to
be pretty conservative when it comes to things like that, and besides,
many Indians still hold a grudge for being shooed off their ancestoral
lands by the White Eyes. Furthermore, I wouldn't want to do anything
silly that would compromise my respect for toilets. Ya never know when
you'll need one...

But think of the glamour, the fame, the money, the hunks with a healthy
appetite! Still, I suppose there is _something_ to say for domestic
tranquility. What it is, though, who knows. Btw, I've heard of
Chardonnay, Zinfendel, Burgundy, Port, Ripple and all kinds of wines, but
what the heck is "Chuck"? I have to aver that it doesn't sound exactly
like the epitome of class in upper-echelon wine circles or even
rhombuses. I hope you're not one of them middle-aged housewives who
boozes it up to drown the sorrows of youthful dreams lost or merely
because being smashed seems like a lot of fun whether you're smashed or
sober. There is simply no future in alcohol (-unless you're an
automobile, of course.)
