Well the world seems to be headin down the economic plughole - the gurgler if you will.
It was Lao Tze who said in the Tao Te Ching:
"The world is forever out of control ..."
How right he was.
A more modern day sage was that great Scottish entertainer Harry Lauder who had very sound advice for these precarious times in which we live:
Just a wee doch an doris
Just a wee dram that's a
Just a wee doch an doris
afore ye gang awa
There's a wee wifey waitin
In a wee But 'n Ben
If you can say
"It's a braw bricht moonlicht nicht"
Then you're all richt, ye ken
Take it away Harry Baby!
A very loose translation might be:
Have one more wee whiskey - a wee drink for the road before you go home to your wee wife waiting in your small country cottage. If you can still manage to talk without slurring your words then you're not too drunk.
Oh and that final bit if you can say it's a beautiful bright moonlit night then you're all right - you understand?
By the way Whiskey means "water of life".
