    1. Now, if that's not a fine reason to open the bottle; perhaps even tomorrow. Thank you. :)

  2. "All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."

    In the matter of opening the bottle you ought to have reached stage three by now.

    1. Ha ha, you know your Schopenhauer.
      In matter of opening the very bottle I have still not reached stage three, though. :)

  3. "Pure reason" may not really be what you find in a bottle of malt, but it may often seem that way, until the mind-misting misty Scottish ethanol metabolises off.

    1. ... and next time a verbal combatant asks me "How do you know that?" (which happens a lot) I shall just triumphantly reply "Reinen vernunft!" Thanks.

  4. Just in case your combatant happens to be a nitpicking arrogant German teacher, don't offer him your throat by choosing the genitive. Just triumphantly say: "Reine Vernunft!"

    1. Ah... thanks. And "a nitpicking arrogant German?" Surely not? About as unlikely as an angry miserable Scot. Oh...
