A cat, a rat, an elephant too,
Decided one day to visit the zoo.
But the man at the gate (who was all dressed in blue)
Said: ‘No, no, no, this never will do.
Zoos are for people with shoes and with hats.
They’re certainly not intended for rats.’
So the elephant (who was the oldest) said:
‘OK, we’ll go to the theatre instead.’

And they all enjoyed a performance of Ionesco's Rhinoceros.

What is triple sec ?

What is triple sec ?

It's like normal sec, HP. But three times the oomph.

I am a whole continent, believe me, guys, a new-found land. It takes a well-trained explorer with plenty of provisions. (Don't forget the Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque )

Yes. Thank you. What do you recommend, HP?

A good pint of Draught Bass, I think.
Of course, there are many alternatives (Courage Directors', Marston's Pedigree, etc..)
