Better sleep with a sober cannibal
than a drunken Christian.
—Herman Melville
Reflection
This advice take a bit of cogitating, as the average
alcoholic is too socially conscious to be caught snooz-
ing with a cannibal. Good Heavens! What would the
neighbors think?
Affirmation
When I drink, it matters ill to me who is in the bed, so
today, and tonight let me be in command of my senses,
so that I'll sleep in peace, safe from rampaging Chris-
tians and vegetarian cannibals.
