Eighteen
Bottles of Whiskey
I had eighteen bottles of whiskey in the cellar, and my wife insisted I
empty the contents of each bottle down the sink, or else.
After careful consideration, I reluctantly agreed and finally proceeded
with the unpleasant task.
I withdrew the cork from the first bottle and poured the contents down
the sink with the exception of one glass, which I drank.
Then, I withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did likewise with
it, with the exception of one glass, which I drank.
I then withdrew the cork from the third bottle and poured the whiskey
down the sink, which I drank.
I pulled the cork from the fourth bottle down the sink and poured the
bottle down the glass, which I drank.
I pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink out of
it, and threw the rest down the glass.
I pulled the sink out of the next glass and poured the cork down the
bottle. Then, I corked the sink with the glass, bottled the
drink and drank the pour.
When I had everything emptied, I steadied the house with one hand,
counted the glasses, corks, bottles, and sinks with the
other, which were twenty-nine, and as the houses came by I
counted them again, and finally I had all the houses in one
bottle, which I drank.
I'm not under the affluence of incohol as some tinkle peep I am. I'm not
half as thunk as you might drink. I fool so feelish I don't
know who is me, and the drunker I stand here, the longer I
get.
