Wide-O, I hope that you and the lab and parrot enjoy Tuscany

Icehouse, I am still here.
I had a strange experience recently; I was invited to a dinner party and didn't know most of the people there.
One of them kept on trying to ply me with whiskey which I politely declined but he didn't get the message.
Finally I said bluntly that I can't drink for medical reasons (technically true of course).
That shut him up.
