It’s no use to talk to you. I think all you say is unintelligible chatter So I’d better go and have a drink and discuss with friends a serious matter. They have vital questions to decide, For example: "Who’s a better drinker?" Their range of interests is wide - From a grocery to places selling liquor. We debate two quite important points, as we hold a heated conversation: one is how to get the missing coins and the other - who will fetch libation. You are giving me your brew instead of wine... Can I justify your twilight vision? Your intelligence doesn’t equal mine You should polish up your erudition!
