Despite their antagonistic kayfabe on-stage, in real life the Optimist and the Pessimist are good buddies and spend many evenings drinking together at the Old Entomologist

They have learned not to complain to Evangeline van Holsterin about the half-emptiness of the glass as she is wont to top it up with saliva.

The child younger than Piaget's conservation-of-quantity age says nothing about the glass and is happy because there is more juice than when it was in in the squatter wider carafe. However, he is a mean drunk and gets all fighty and bitey after two screwdrivers and I really think they should ban him for good.

Unless Ms van Holsterin has rabies, it would only take ~ 12 hours to fill the pint (1). There are simpler ways ("you don't buy beer, you rent it").

You just need to get that third screwdriver into 'em, and he calms right back down.

I have never seen the worth of dissolving screwdrivers in chromic acid and then drinking it. But each to their own.

You'd be a mean drunk too if your parents saddled you with a flattop like that.

Not at all, my hair was very curly, so I had a big blond 'fro well into my 20s, and I'm not a mean drunk.
