Whisky has that effect on people. Believe.

Oh. It was in quotation marks so I thought you were quoting someone. It's cool anyway.

Heehee. I've heard many variations on that, but never with so many whiskey slugs that the person lost count! ;-)

Whoever it was doesn't know how to count.

"I've got eight slugs in me. Six of 'em's whisky and two of 'em's lead. What was it you wanted?"

Not the past participle of the verb "to slog".

There's nothing wrong with slugs in the bed. Now, a lot of slugs, that's another thing entirely. I dare say I might lose my temper too.

Funny, I think an aversion to slugs is rather normal.

(Points for your use of queer!)

But what really brought things to a head was when she put a lot of slugs in his bed. He had a queer aversion for slugs. He lost his temper completely and said that the girl had to be sent away to school.
