This is such a patently ridiculous story, it’s perfect.

Thanks Mark

men are not booby birds and that drinking sea water as Smith had done could kill a man.

Six months of Sea Survival School circa 1978, this was a constant hoot among the Instructors, it’s a terrible idea, unless you’ve absolutely no other option and are ready to welcome death.

I’m a step ahead. I filter everything I drink through a booby bird. He likes the beer the most.

Have you tried a rubber chicken? I worry about becoming dehydrated on account of all the beer I drink. I have discovered bottled water. It certainly makes better coffee.

Only at political fundraisers.

But now I kind of want to make a pot of beer-coffee.
