It may not be sexy for humans, but you have to admit it would be cool to be able to do that.

| You could have a jalousie in your jalopy if it wouldn't engender juvenile jealousy.

Very handy.

| I've had that drink on New Years one year... fortunately I didn’t have any ill effects that time…
However I was once drinking to keep a friend’s wife drinking. It happened to be “Fireball” (cinnamon flavoured whiskey… what was I thinking???) . The more she drank the funnier the stories she told about her husband (who was a friend of ours)… Okay I was being evil… well Karma paid me back the next day… that stuff burned coming out more than it did going in and I didn’t have the alcohol to numb my pain….
