It's not a crime if a Republican does it.

Good thing they're tough, because you can almost outrun one around a campfire while drunk on tequilla. Or so I've heard.

Back in the 80's a buddy of mine came up with a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster recipe that comes pretty close to achieving the described effect. Take one typical working-class-bar mixed drink glass, fill it half way with ice, pour one shot of vodka and one shot of Southern Comfort over the ice, then top it off with Mogen David Blackberry wine. It sounds disgusting, but it's smooth and sweet with a hint of lemon, and will make you over tip your bartender right before you tip over and go sleepy bye, to awaken with a head that feels like its been struck with a rectangular slab of auric masonry.

There is a scene in the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension that takes place in their lab, and there's an unexplained watermelon in a vise in the background.

Or those low interest fixed term loans they make to banks when they can't fit all their money under their mattress.
