Indeed, Geoff. Embalming fluid should be drunk young. Like a Fino.

There is a difference to being aged in the cask and being aged in the casket.

What is a Casket?
Never seen one in Dublin, or East Antrim for that matter.

I believe that to which you refer is more accurately referred to as a caskette -- a container smaller than a casket -- reserved for the finest in rums, whiskey, etc.

I think a caskette would be a small French coffin or did you mean Casquets? Also French and often preceding need for former.

I was walking past a pet shop recently. A sign on the shop front said ' Pedigree Netherlands cats for sale '
I didn't believe they were from the Netherlands so I went into the shop & asked the assistant......' How Dutch is that moggie in the window? '

geoff

Bob,groan now...

I just can't part with it.

I've always had sympathy with people going bald, but you must be philosophical about it.

Hair today, gone tomorrow.

Pliny suggests that being a philosopher about it might end up in death by falling tortoise.

I am not sure which Pliny told us about Aeschylus. I think only Uncle got incinerated.

If you're on a ship passing by Vesuvius when it's throwing a wobbler, any sensible seafarer would alter course away. Volcanoes don't **** about.
This is why you should never put a philosopher on the bridge. Keep him in the bar discussing Zeno's Paradox or some such.

Wasn't he rather a brave seafarer taking his fleet to the rescue? I thought a Zeno's paradox was something one did with a sextant (I see your head office is looking for new tenants, Bob).

The only pub in the world where people are staggering as they go in, and walking perfectly straight when they come out.

This cartoon is of course completely daft. But that's what I like about it … I laugh every time I see it.
