last night i was sitting in a publick house enjoying a fine beverage and watching keno numbers change. i noticed a guy notice me. he then walked across the room stopped next to me and put his index finger into my beer.
i said: your index finger is in my beer.
he said: so it is. i'm sorry. i thought it was mine.
i said: it is yours. it is your index finger that is in my beer.
