WHEN THE DRINK RANKS HIGHER THAN THE WOMAN?

What is in a drink? A lot really. For starters only a good drink can assuage thirst. No wonder in many cultures the first thing giving to a guest is a cold drink. You might take this cultural gesture for granted but ask a nomad living in the desert, you will see that a drink is actually a lease of life. Okay, I believe we have established the fact that a drink is vital to our existence and part of our cultural heritage. Let's get to the nitty - gritty.
Papadom went to a pub recently and got some disturbing revelations from some Papas who were enjoying their drinks. First of all the fact should be made here and now that this was no teetotellars pub every one was indulging in one alcoholic drink or the other, it was either beer, brandy, whisky or wine. It was a merry atmosphere until a Papa that we initially thought had had a drink too much declared 'my drink is more loyal than my woman I tell you', just as we were letting it all soak in, another Papa retorted 'you are spot- on on that Pal,' he started, 'my drink is always there for me, she never nags', that statement elicited a unanimous head nodd across the pub. 'my drink never tells me no, no headaches or fever and most importantly, I can open her up when ever I need to'.
To our utmost surprise that weird piece of oratory got a round of applause and several glasses clinked in unison. Does that imply that some Papas really rate there drinks higher than their women, we thought? Or was it that the booze got the better of them? Papadom is as bewildered today as it was that merry day.
