It ain’t all it’s cracked up to be
August 19, 2007I made a quick stroll along the kermis today here in Warmenhuizen. I’m not going into the sociological and psychological aspects of the kermis, but let’s just say it’s an excuse to consume boatloads of alcohol. You drink, and drink, and drink. Whether you’re 25, 98, or 11. In any case, I’ve been completely wasted three days on end year after year on the kermis - up until last year. I just didn’t go, and didn’t miss it either. So, for the first time today, I was there sober.
And trust me, sober, it ain’t all it’s cracked up to be.
While leaving, I asked Marcel, a friend of mine, what other things aren’t all they cracked up to be when sober?
Without looking up from the txt msg he was writing on his cell phone, he said, “Women.”
