Robin’s 2¢
A “practiced” drinker went to the liquor store and bought a bottle of scotch, on his bike.
He put the bottle in his bike basket. As he was about to leave, he thought to himself that if he fell off his bike, the bottle would break before he got home.
So he drank the bottle of scotch before he cycled home.
It turned out to be a very good idea, because he fell off his bike seven times on his way home.
