    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    Bob Hawke, former Australian Prime Minister, once held the world beer drinking speed record. While at University College, Oxford, Hawke drank 1 yard of beer (2.5 pints, or 1.4 litres) in 11 seconds apparently. As of 10 years ago, it was still the University College record (and may still be now).

    The current world record is 5 seconds, according to wikipedia.

    When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
    It's the same when you are stupid.
