Hey, I get an allowance, man! That means I’m allowed to spend it on any frivolity of my own choosing. RHP subscription, bubble gum, beer, tickets to see Jeff Beck. Whatever I want.

Gentle reminder of the 1200 pounds you owe me sir for all that snake oil I sent you.

But sir, you mentioned 1400 pounds to me - was that a different kind of snakes...?

The extra 200 pounds was to cover the costs I incurred while extracting the oil.

Sorry, I have a limit of 200 per month. And it’s already committed: RHP sub, bubble gum, beer, snake oil remover, and Jeff Beck tickets. I do have a spare Jeff Beck ticket, you want it?

Did I hear someone Jeff Beckoning?
Very nice! Enjoy! 🙂

Jeff Beck....English guitarist most of us on this side of the pond have not heard about

Geoffrey Arnold Beck (born 24 June 1944) is an English rock guitarist. He is one of the three noted guitarists to have played with the Yardbirds (the other two being Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page). Beck also formed the Jeff Beck Group and with Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice, he formed Beck, Bogert & Appice.

What's the difference between a kleptomaniac and a literalist?

A literalist takes things literally.
A kleptomaniac takes things, literally.

... from a Moroccan witch doctor. Have you any idea how much snake oil remover is required to remove 1200 pounds worth of snake oil ... from a 15th c. tapestry, ... depicting a Trappist pilgrimage ... to the second largest ball of twine in Flanders ... which ultimately entangled the monks in martyrdom? No, I suppose you wouldn’t. However, you may relay to the Moroccan witch doctor that the ritual, although it did not entirely vanquish the wart, did induce it to migrate to a location less prominent such that Ponderable (whom I recently met for beer and Mexican food) scarcely remarked upon it. Most kind of him.

Amazing what you can learn on RHP.

There's a funny Impractical Jokers episode where one of the friends has to try and get somebody to accept a jar of 'grandma oil.'
