Eor poured me a drink, and then I went and took Advil PM, and then he got nervous about alcohol and antihistamines and asked me to put the drink in a mason jar and save it for tomorrow. "You could chug it before work," he joked.
"Sure," says I, "The pee van was here only a few days ago. I should post on Facebook 'The pee van never comes twice in a week, right??' And then when it comes back, post the next day, 'The pee van never comes three times in a row, right??'"

But the management might not, so I guess I will high myself off to bed. But I will leave you with these brain teasers by PG Wodehouse, written about 1903 - my second favorite, and then my favorite:
- "PETER is given a bag of apples to divide between Paul, Edward, John, Arthur, and himself. He is told to give to Paul a number equal to one-third of the combined ages of Edward and Arthur, and to John a number equal to the combined ages of Paul and Edward. He does not know their ages, and is bad at figures. How long will it before he has a headache?"
- "TWO years ago President Roosevelt said that something would have to be done about the Trusts. Last year he said that something would really have to be done about the Trusts. When will something ‘certainly’ have to be done?"
