Lamont's Believe It Or Not! Prohibition Week

Early temperance activism brings us a prime example of unwitting reverse psychology.
This gaggle of gargoyles belonged to the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The WCTU is still very much alive and sourpussing around. They have a Web site, craft primitive posters and are plotting to churn out a series of position statements on such topics as "the hemp" and "the snuff" (a concern since 1874). Tragically, their FAQ does not contain answers to my most urgent questions. For example: Must I be a woman to belong to your organization? Must I be Christian? Must I be temperate? And, of course: Have you realized that it's better to use Swedish stewardesses as spokesmodels?

They forgot to note that absinthe makes the heart grow fonder.

On the downside, I'm usually passed out on the living room floor by the time the husband gets home from work.

On the upside, I'm usually passed out on the living room floor by the time the husband gets home from work. And let me tell you--it's pretty darn relaxing.
