Tsk. Anybody who is holding more than one drink at a time is
probably drinking too much.
Moderation, moderation, moderation.
I, e.g., make it a Rule never to smoke more than one cigar...

Potatoes are not so much "popular" amongst the Irish as that they
/must/ eat rotten potatoes because they turned all their wheat into
beer and whiskey, their preferred food group.

Ekshully, he doesn't, because the "black" man didn't.
Binney and Smith may have expunged "Indian Red" and "Flesh" from
the 48-stick box of Crayolas, but I'd like to see them expunge
"Black" from the grade-school 8-deck.
And what of the various Greatest Hits?
"I see a red door and I want to paint it African-American"?
"Don't it make my African-American eyes blue"?
"African-American, African-American, African-American is the color
of my True Love's hair"?
"African-American Jack Per****ng wuZ a Sojer"?
"The African-American Watch Polka"?

de-pose' v.En.
1. to testify under oath, but esp. in absentia, in media res (on
paper).
2. to bring down (i.e., preferably on her back).
Your deponent madeth a pun.
