- O lord, where will such reasoning lead us?
- the fact that the Belgrano was outside the exclusion zone proves it must
once have been inside the zone.
- the fact that food inspectors have proved this scotch beef e-coli free
proves that it must've been infected (actually that's quite plausible).
- the fact that Sinatra recorded no covers of arias from Don Giovanni
proves that he must in fact BE Mozart.
- the fact that this white crumbly dairy product tastes good and toasts up
a treat proves that it must have a high chalk content.
The c&c was produced in response to your original suggestion, Robin -
nothing else (fun tho it was at the time). If I'm made to pull over and
take a breathalyzer, it's not the fact that I blow into a bag that proves
I am/am not off my face, it's the actual reaction of my vodka-loaded
spittle on the finely tuned mechanism held by the polite and concerned
officer of the law...
Well, all I can say is it wasn't me guv, or I was driven to it by the
pressures of postmodern society and I needed the money.
