Alcohol. Is there anything it CAN'T do?

For about a year now, I’ve had this problem with one of the burner coils on my stove. The damn things sits on a tilt. So when you sit your fry pan on there, it tilts too. I’ve tried on a handful of occasions to fix the thing, but no dice. No matter how I bent the damn thing, it still wants to tilt.

So last night my friend and I were steadily get’n hammered on margaritas. (Good stuff) After copious consumption of the sweet limey goodness, I decided to cook us a meal. (Just chicken breasts and veggies)

Earlier that day, I had disconnected the coils so I could clean the drip pans. I had neglected to reconnect them earlier so I found myself faced with this daunting task while under the influence. In my drunken stupor, I found this to be problematic. I couldn’t get the damn tongs to plug into the connector. It was at this point I decided to enlist the help of my equally inebriated friend. She couldn’t do it either. So the task got shifted back to me. After much anger and frustration, (things were said that I’m not entirely proud of.) I finally succeeded in my task.

We cooked out meal, ate and went to bed. Happy endings all the way around.

Well today, I was in for quite the pleasant surprise. As I’m warming up some soup on the stove, I realize that the previously tilted burner is quite level now. I have absolutely no recollection of how I did it, but hey, whatever works!

Behold, the power of alcohol.

You had sex on the stove, didn’t you?

That’s hot.

We call that the Aunt Jemima Treatment.

Ah, yes:

I know how quotes get mis-attributed, but I have a quote that supposed to be from Ben Franklin on a t-shirt.

BEER IS PROOF THAT GOD LOVES US AND WANTS US TO BE HAPPY

And I once saw a poster that told you how to get to heaven by drinking beer. Here’s how it goes.

When we drink beer we get drunk.

When we get drunk we go to sleep.

When we go to sleep we commit no sins.

If we commit no sins we go to Heaven.

So, let’s all drink beer and go to Heaven!!!

Remember:
<cue polka music>
In heaven there is no beer- -
That’s why we drink it here!

And when we’re gone from here…

Yeah, but I’ll bet the burner isn’t speaking to you any more.

Shakes. You were f***ed up so bad you couldn’t plug in a stove burner–two really big prongs heading for two really big holes (this is where I omit the ex-wife joke). Sounds like in your efforts, you bent the burner straight, futher speaking to your level of intoxication. And still, ‘happy endings all around.’

My god man. Salutations!

Pretty sure it can’t cure alcoholism.

Sure it can, if you drink enough of it at once.

LOL. I honestly didn’t think of the double entendre that is “happy endings”. That’s some funny shit right there.

nope lol

death is not a cure, if anything dying from alcohol pretty much means you’re an alcoholic forever

Oh now. That’s just silly. :stuck_out_tongue:

What can’t it do? Make you smarter. You’ll think you are, but sadly in the morning …

"Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.”
Churchill: “Madam, you are ugly. In the morning, I shall be sober.”

My understanding is that what Franklin actually said, or rather wrote in a letter, in French, is translated as,
