Ah... this is prime example of my #1 rule:
Give 'Em Enough Rope
also known as:
If I have to explain you wouldn't understand
also known as:
If you have to ask you can't afford it
also known as:
Somewhere in the world it's after 5:00 pm
Ok, maybe the last one wasn't quite the same, but it's a damn good reason
to start drinking before "society" says it's ok.
Yeah Baby!

p.s. for the newbies, I'll explain just this once, give 'em enough rope is
an old (well at least to me) punk expression meaning, "they will either
hang themselves or make a swing, give 'em enough rope and watch what happens."
