TorieTabloid -- Post 5 (and go germany)

I am currently in Ye Olde Torie Land (doing some serious recon in preparation for the coming year in Ye Olde Fake Town). Apparently Benjamin Franklin has people following me because I found a rather interesting paper lying on the bar today when I was at the pub for lunch (that's actually serious -- I guess that I really am haunted). So, in honor of Jesus, who knew how to throw down by turning water into wine, I present to you "Water or Wine" by Comrade Benjamin Franklin:


To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine -- and those who don't,
As Ben Franklin said, "In wine there is wisdom, in beer there is freedom, in water there is bacteria." In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 litre of water each day, at the end of the year, we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) -- bacteria found in faeces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine and beer (or tequila, rum, whiskey, or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting. So, remember: water = poop, wine = health.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of shit. There is no need to thank me for this valuable information: I'm doing it as public service


So there you have it...straight from our favourite boozehound. Now, go tell it on a mountain as the famous Green Mountain Man, David Beckham did in 1568 on the eve of the great battle between the Djiboutian and the Swiss Navy.


I'd like an Aristotle of the tallest toff in the scruff, but I have to face the apples and pears later, so I will just stick with a cup of Rosie Lee.

Cheerio,
