"Dude, I'm sorry but I used up all your liquor."
Just reflecting, because I read this story on the web this week where somebody is house-sitting and the guy uses up all the other guy's liquor. Which is OK because the other guy is rich, but my point, and I do have one, is that nobody would ever say that to me. First, they'd have to be house-sitting and my wife and I will probably never have someone house-sit. We have about 5 friends anyway, all of them are good enough people to theoretically house-sit. I just can't imagine it. In the story, the house-sitter throws a party and the party-goers drink all the liquor in the house. We have a lot of stuff in our house, because the three times we have had a party, we've bought all the liquor we think we might need, and each time, the group that arrived saw fit not to drink it all. This has led to a lot of half-full bottles. In the story, the house-sitter is in a pretty urban location like New York, where people will have and drink *liquor*. Liquor is urban, and we live in the suburbs. Suburbanites drink beer. But the really, really ironic and sad thing is, I would LOVE it if someone would say to me, "Dude, I'm sorry but I used up all your liquor." |

MY Greek friend has a dog - he licked up all his oozo - is that close enough? (unfortunately the dog cannot speak, so never was able to say the phrase - but he did return the oozo exactly to the spot where he had originally found it - although not quite in the same condition...)

No-one will ever say to me, "Go on, have another helping - you look like you're wasting away!"

I'll never hear - "Sorry, you're too short to get on this ride."

I will never hear anyone say, "Just sign this six album contract right here, Mr. Chambers."
