You light up another cigarette and I pour the wine

[venta]

If I recall correctly, in one of the later Hitchhiker books Wonko The Sane built an asylum for the world after he discovered someone thought it necessary to print instructions on toothpicks.

I had a similar moment in Saisnbury's on Monday. You can now buy "ready to drink" wine. That is, a cardboard pack which contains two wine-filled plastic wine glasses, each sealed with a film lid.

Now, OK, if you're going on a picnic and want less than a bottle of wine and don't want to carry glasses, I can just about see that there might be a use. But really... quite apart from any environmental considerations of throwing away two plastic glasses, some film, and some cardboard just for two moderately-sized glasses of wine, I just can't help thinking that somehow the world has gone mad.

Anyone else up for living Outside The Asylum with me ?

Play fair, you never look people in the eye when talking to them! You look most people squarely in the top of the head :)

But is that only because their gaze is directed downwards towards his her décolletage?
