Make a pilgrimage to the headwaters. Follow the river that’s fed you joy to its source. Stand amongst the vats and barrels and absorb the knowledge that this is the spring from which the good times flow. Drink as many free samples as they’ll give you.

AN Irishman, an Englishman, and a Scotsman go into a pub and each order a pint of Guinness. Just as the bartender hands them over, three flies buzz down and one lands in each of the pints.
The Englishman looks disgusted, pushes his pint away and demands another pint.
The Scotsman picks out the fly, shrugs, and takes a long swallow.
The Irishman reaches in to the glass, pinches the fly between his fingers and shakes him while yelling, “Spit it out, ya bastard! Spit it out!”

This week’s hangover remedy: BANANAS AND ORANGE JUICE. The achy muscles the morning after are caused by low potassium. Downing some OJ and bananas before bed or when you wake up will restore potassium, and the orange juice will also balance your blood sugar level.
I now officially look forward to viewing Saturday night posts. Headbangers and drinkers! What a site!
