Someone sent me an email this week that featured a lot of old songs and skits. I browsed through the list and came across one by Dean Martin. For you younger folks, Dean was a crooner and comedian. Don’t ask what a crooner is, you wouldn’t understand.
In a particular skit, Dean talked about Joe E. Lewis. Both Dean and Joe were known for imbibing alcohol. Joe was a singer turned comedian because some gangsters cut his throat and he could no longer sing. Dean said that he and Joe were in his den swimming one night, when Joe remarked, "A man is not drunk if he can lay on the floor without holding on."
Dean also said, "I feel sorry for people that don’t drink. Think about it. When you wake up in the morning, that’s as good as you’re going to feel all day."
Why am I telling you all this? No reason. It just seems funny to me today.
So far as the drinking goes, it’s not for everyone.
It makes you walk funny.
