Weird News

Because some years ago, some younger colleagues used me as the subject of an experiment. They wanted to see if I was any different under the influence than I was in the office, so at the office Christmas party, they made sure I was supplied with fresh drinks all evening. They were quite disappointed, I think, to find I was pretty much the same after several scotches as I was before.

But now we have scientific evidence, so we can be even surer. Reminds me of the big news a few years ago that a scientific study had determined that babies in utero could hear. The guys from Harvard announced this. A lady wrote a letter to the editor which said, essentially, "Of course they can. My son always jumped when I slammed the refrigerator door."
