    Hydrogen oxide will kill someone! Better stick to dihydrogen monoxide. Much safer. Only danger of consumption of it is drowning.

      Greenday, hush! Of course I know it's actually dihdrogen monoxide, but that doesn't flow as well linguistically as Hydrogen Oxide Martini. And only a few science nerds have ever corrected me.

      Hell, bar geeks might "correct" me by pointing out that a "martini" should be served up, not on the rocks as I always serve the above drink. With a STRAW no less!

        I once answered that question "Oh, I'm not pregnant. Just fat", and stared the person down until they had the good sense to look ashamed and walk away.

          I know it hurts, but I found a good witty comeback to be "Bet you feel stupid now, huh?"
          I made that mistake with a friend a couple of years ago, and while she didn't say anything like that to me, I did feel stupid.

          She had called me to let me know she was going to be at one of the local bars, and asked me to come out and see her and her new boyfriend. I hadn't seen her in over a year, and when I got there, her belly was a bit bigger and rounder than it had been the last time I saw her. I told her, "I was going to ask what you've been up to, but I can already see the answer!"

          She told me, "I'm not pregnant! I just got fat!"

          Yeah, I felt about two inches tall after that. She didn't hold it against me, but still...

            JESTER: "What can I get you to drink?"
            GUY: "I'll have a Toasted Lager."
            JESTER: "And for you, darlin'?"
            GIRL: "Just a water."
            JESTER: (raises a skeptical eyebrow)
            GIRL: "I'm pregnant."
            JESTER: "And THAT is the only excuse I'll accept! One hydrogen oxide martini, coming up!"

            You know better, Jester. Ethanol makes a lousy cocktail when combined with the cocktail of drugs (prescription) floating around in my system.

            4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

              It's a joke. I know hydrogen oxide isn't water. But it SOUNDS cool, and that's all I'm going for.

                The last few days I've had tramadol, fentanyl, and morphine floating through my system (sometimes all at once). Jester was STILL trying to convince me that alcohol would mix fantastically with all that. Maybe if my object was to render myself unconscious, it would have been...

                Today I'm down to just the tramadol. A beer might be in order.

                  This happens to me a few times a year, when I'm retaining water. I absolutely hate it. Whose business is it what I have going on in my pelvis?

                    Greenday, there are other serious dangers associated with consumption of dihydrogen monoxide.
