An Irish coffee
     in the afternoon,

makes a sane man
     in the evening.

very pleasing form and voice, joe. tom

Sounds like something somebody's Dad would say.  I like it.  It's got a homey (not homie) feel to it.

Ha, I like that. It gives an old man with a comb over feel to it. Maybe I should re-title to Dad's Motto?

joseph you have managed to borrow your words into my head, something i don't mind.  there is an old saying that a drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts.  will be amending my afternoon cup of joe.  understand the title, just not sure if it is the strongest choice.  enjoyed -lawrence
