    I read this book when I was an innocent kid and therefore completely missed the genius of

    “What’s so bad about being drunk?”
    “You ask a glass of water.”

    (It’s been a long time, might be paraphrasing unintentionally)

      Same, though I guess I was old enough to get that because my dad used to be a heavy drinker. I don’t have the book for reference but I think that’s pretty Belgium good.
