"I am shocked, just shocked, to find out that there is drinking going on in this establishment."

"Here is your cocktail, sir."

"Oh, thank you."

Seriously though, don't knock it until you've tried it. There is no better way to pass the time on a Friday after work/school and before going out for the night than taking a scaldingly hot shower and sipping an ice cold American beer.

(My other beer is a Guinness.)
During the 15-30 minutes in the shower, one can almost pretend that the evening is not going to be the usual depressing failure it inevitably turns out to be. (j/k)
