LOL! That reminds me of when I told this old-timer (I was probably 30, he
was in his 50s) that drinking Tequila didn't give you a hangover. He came
to work on Monday after a Saturday binge and cussed me out because he had
the biggest hangover he'd ever had in his life.

LOL! Or your mind tells you that you have two feet but can't find one of
them.

I often wonder what happened to those who didn't.

In those cases it's good to have a wallet full.
